In order to be able to enjoy meals while being aware of the new coronavirus infection, universities and restaurants in Kyoto City have begun efforts to popularize “handheld masks”.
The "handheld mask" is applied to your mouth when you enjoy a conversation at meals, and it is a simple structure that attaches a handle to paper or non-woven fabric that is the same size as an ordinary mask.
On the 25th, about 20 people, including representatives of restaurants and restaurants, gathered at a hotel in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, and had a meal using a prototype. Participants carried curry rice and fruits with their spoons and forks, and covered their mouths with a mask held by their non-dominant hand when checking the comfort.
In the future, the students of Saga Art University will work on making masks with higher functionality and design based on the questionnaire of participants so that they can be actually used in restaurants and restaurants.
A participating man said, "It is not realistic to put on or take off an ordinary mask during meals, but I think that this "holding mask" can be used without discomfort and is effective in preventing infections". ..
Masako Sasaki, president of Saga Art University, who devised the mask, said, "I would like to improve the design of "Moscow Mask" so that you can use it and establish it as one of the new manners during meals."
