Upcycling with leftover materials

In 2024, we collaborated with Kyoto-based company "SHOYEIDO INCENSE CO." to host a workshop where participants created one-of-a-kind scented pouches while feeling both companies' craftsmanship spirit. Furthermore, at the "Circulation Festival" reuse event, which promotes new vintage clothing circulation systems alongside Gen Z, we are working to realize a resource-circulating society in collaboration with the local community through workshop sessions and the sale of upcycled products.
