Make year-end and New Year cleaning safe and stylish! Selecting reliable stepladders that highlight Japanese craftsmanship

Year-end and New Year’s cleaning, or “Osoji,” is an essential tradition in both Japan and Vietnam as people prepare to welcome the new year. Cleaning high places that are usually out of reach is mandatory during this season, but the dangers of working at heights are immense. Using unstable tools or old step ladders poses a risk to family health and safety.

Hasegawa Vietnam Co., Ltd., a Vietnamese subsidiary of Japan’s Hasegawa Kogyo Co., Ltd., offers the “Philosophy of Security” cultivated in professional settings directly to enhance home safety and lifestyle. This article guides readers in both countries on how to safely and stylishly prepare for the New Year season by explaining how to choose a wise step ladder that integrates Japanese quality standards and design aesthetics.

Among household accidents, falls from heights during high-altitude work are particularly dangerous. While standards exist in Japan, such as JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), and unique standards in Vietnam, many mass-market, inexpensive step ladders or stools fail to eliminate the sense of instability, such as “wobbling” felt during use, or “flexing” when body weight is applied, even if they meet basic safety standards. This “small shake” can disrupt concentration and trigger an accident.

The philosophy that Hasegawa Kogyo has upheld for approximately 70 years is precisely to eliminate this “small sense of uneasiness.” Their brand message, “You can feel the reliability when you step on it,” goes beyond mere numerical data or passing standard certifications.

Hasegawa rigorously implements a human-centered validation process of “actually having a person step on and check the product” right from the design stage. This process is what generates the evaluation from professional artisans that “Hasegawa products are reliable,” which translates to “absolute trustworthiness,” now brought to your home. This manufacturing philosophy is strictly applied at the Da Nang factory in Vietnam as well.

The need to avoid placing bulky work tools in the living room when inviting relatives and friends over for the New Year is common in both Japan and Vietnam. Hasegawa Kogyo’s lucano (Rukāno) series, a designer step ladder that integrates functionality and design, resolves this issue.

lucano is designed to elevate the step ladder from a mere tool into a “displayable piece of furniture.”

Even after the major cleaning season ends, lucano continues to elevate your home style, serving as a shelf or an object.

Hasegawa Kogyo is expanding the step ladder’s stability and durability into daily life and hobbies.

Hasegawa Vietnam’s Da Nang factory is not just a manufacturing base; it is an indispensable presence in maintaining global quality standards as one of the four major global testing centers of the Hasegawa Group. Products manufactured here are exported to major markets such as Japan and the USA, where strict safety standards and quality checks are applied.

This provides strong evidence that “this step ladder, which fuses Vietnamese craftsmanship and Japanese quality standards, is recognized globally,” ensuring that there is no compromise on safety, even for products used in the home.

Hasegawa Kogyo actively pursues design and innovation through collaborations with international brands. This demonstrates their commitment to establishing a position as a “lifestyle brand,” not merely a “tool” manufacturer.

By building upon the unwavering foundation of “safety” and layering the value of “design aesthetics,” Hasegawa Vietnam helps transform the year-end and New Year’s cleaning task into “a safe, comfortable, and beautiful time.”

When preparing for the New Year, choosing a step ladder is a critical decision directly linked to family safety. Hasegawa Vietnam’s products balance “unwavering security” provided by Japanese craftsmanship with the “beauty that blends into life” as represented by lucano.

Choosing safe and stylish tools is an investment in welcoming the new year comfortably and without worry. Take this opportunity to choose a Hasegawa step ladder and experience the “You can feel the reliability when you step on it” philosophy.
