This time, new products that use functional materials will be developed directly to users through crowdfunding, and professionals who know everything about textiles will propose "new value" that has never existed before. Rather than brand names and prices, we would like to spread awareness of “really good products” from the materials. We hope that the products we deliver will help solve social problems and bring comfort to everyone. The first product will be exhibited on 12/23 (Monday). From January onwards, products from the FOODTEXTILE project that reuses food waste, products that use special wool raw materials handled by TOYOSHIMA Boseki, an affiliated company, and other products that can only be proposed by textile professionals, will be crowdfunded in sequence. We will start selling.
■ Three things that can only be done on TOYOSHIMA, which has been in business for 178 years
"Production without waste"
Instead of mass production and mass consumption, we produce only the amount that is needed, when it is needed, where it is needed. Our goal is to create products that are conscious of the SDGs, and we propose a system for doing so.
"A product with a story"
We want you to sympathize with the story of the product, not the price or brand, and purchase it. With that in mind, TOYOSHIMA proposes a new story at Makuake.
“Materials unique to TOYOSHIMA ”
There are materials that we can share because we know textiles from all over the world. As a fiber professional, I will make proposals with confidence.

Wear melting wool every day
～Warm in winter and cool in summer～
365 days wool
Don't you have an image of "wool = material to wear in winter"?
In fact, wool is not only warm, but it has various functions, and it is a material that can be worn comfortably all year round, not just in winter.
-Various functions-
■ Moisture absorption heat generation effect and moisturizing effect
The characteristic of wool material is that it not only gives you warmth through moisture absorption and heat generation, but also has a moisturizing effect.
The crimped part of the fiber makes it difficult for heat to escape, and it also has the property of retaining moisture, which is unique to natural materials, and has the effect of retaining moisture in the skin.
In addition, by absorbing moisture, it softens the tingling sensation and realizes a smoother texture. It can be safely worn by small children and those who are concerned about itchiness.
■By thermoregulating effect, it is warm and cool
In contrast to synthetic fibers, Merino wool is called a fiber that breathes, it is an active fiber that responds to changes in body temperature. In hot weather, sweat is absorbed and released as gas to the outside, taking heat away from the body and cooling the body. A year-round material that keeps you warm on cold days and cool on hot days.
In particular, the wool used this time is extremely fine ultra-fine merino wool, so it has a fine texture and a smooth texture.
■ It has deodorant function and decomposes sweat odor molecules.
Breathable fiber Merino wool absorbs moisture, leaving less sweat on your body. Since it absorbs even the odor molecules of sweat, it exerts a deodorizing effect.

Travel pillow with magical softness
Toripiro
If you sleep on the go, such as on a business trip, traveling, or camping, you may have trouble falling asleep or waking up, or suffer from stiff shoulders and neck pain. It's probably because the sleeping environment is "unusual".
I want to use my own pillow that I use every day at home on business trips and travel destinations ...!
In order to realize such a thought, although it is a soft pillow with an excellent fit, it can be stored small and compact.
We have developed such a dreamy pillow "Toripiro".
Based on ergonomics, it was designed to keep the S shape of the cervical spine naturally even when sleeping. Just put your head on and it will fit you perfectly. (*There are individual differences)
Adopts a triangular lattice structure that disperses pressure.
Whether you sleep on your back or on your side, it gently wraps your head and neck.
In addition to being compact, the weight has been reduced to the limit without compromising Toripiro's comfort. (1,760g)
Not only for everyday use, but also for travel, business trips, outdoor activities, etc., when your body is under unusual stress, or when you are already tired while sleeping on the go, take Toripiro for a comfortable night. Have a good time.
I use up-and-coming TPE material now.
TPE is a resin material similar to plastic and rubber, and has characteristics that combine the good qualities of both. It is a material that is also used for kitchen utensils and medical equipment, and is safe and harmless to the body. Since it can be recycled, it is also attracting attention as an eco-friendly material that has little impact on the environment. It features a material that stretches like rubber.
Although it was not often used as a pillow, it is a material that was adopted to develop a product that can be compressed while still having a good fit.
