The keywords for the hollyhock petals are 'regeneration' and 'upcycling'.

Collaborative artwork with glass sculptor Runa Kosogawa. Created an original piece themed around "regeneration" and "upcycling" (Featured on the concept page and in January and February). The artwork involves the actual upcycling of crystal glass doorknobs discarded by our company. It expresses thoughts and techniques accumulated over time regarding glass, as well as its origins, through the petals of hollyhocks.

Continuing from the previous year, our collaborative work with Yukio Fujimoto, where we confront the essence of calendars and paper, received the Gold Prize. To reduce packaging waste, we sell the calendars in reusable tote bags. Limited to 200 copies, each tote bag bears Yukio Fujimoto's autograph, and the calendars are numbered with edition numbers. The artwork is filled with ingenuity to cherish things and playful elements regarding printing and paper, hidden in many places.
