There is a secret in this shape. This handrail is corrugated to help people climb up and down the stairs. When you climb down the stairs, you can press the handrail vertically if it is corrugated. On the other hand, when you climb up the stairs, you can grip the handrail horizontally. It is easy to grip the handrail.
This company is in Kyushu island and my city is also in Kyushu island, so the local governor adopted these handrails in the public spaces.

Have you ever seen such a hand rail as in this picture?
It's called “Qunetto,” which was invented by a small Japanese company:
This company is in Kyushu island and my city is also in Kyushu island, so the local governor adopted these handrails in the public spaces.
> Cool handrail!
Yes, I agree with you.
It is called “Qunetto,” and it was invented by a small Japanese company:
> Do you know how new the design is?
It was invented in 2001. How does it make sense?
I am really proud of this design!
Have you ever seen such a hand rail in as shown in this picture?
This is called a “Qunetto,” which and was invented by a small Japanese company:
This handrail is corrugated shaped so as to help people climb up and down the stairs. "Corrugated" means troughs and ridges, like ""ununu." The handrail can also be said to be "wavy," but not quite. I don't really know how to describe the shape exactly, so I just said "shaped."
When you climb down the stairs, you can press the handrail vertically if it is corrugated on its horizontal side.
On the other hand, when you climb up the stairs, you can grip the handrail horizontally on its vertical side.
It is easy to grip the handrail whether you go up or down.
This company that invented it is on Kyushu Island, and my city is also on Kyushu island, so the local governor adopted these handrails in the public spaces.
I'm glad you were interested in this entry.
> I can see how useful this handrail would be for those who need extra support.
Even though the young people climb up and down the stairs, it helps a lot.
> The handrail can also be said to be "wavy,"
I think "wavy" is a suitable word for it.
According to your explanation, it seems to be reasonable.
I think that it may spread in more world for the elderly.

I agree with you. This handrail is helpful for all the people.
Have you ever seen such a hand rail like the one in this picture?
When you climb down the stairs, you can press (down on) the handrail vertically on the horizontal part.
> Of course there it is slippery so it is important that the hand rail is easy to grip
You're right. I agree with you.
I think young people don't care about it seriously in handrails, but they can find it helpful in the bathrooms.
