■ Features of “Ribbon Mask that Spins Thoughts”
·design
Hand-stitched by Japanese craftsmen using soft fabric. Fine waves are applied to the upper part so that the expression with the mask has depth. In addition, the ribbon not only serves as an accent to the design, but can also be freely adjusted according to your size.
·material
Asahi Kasei's "Bemberg®" (*1), which is gentle on the skin, is 100% used for the material. Regenerated fiber that is friendly to the earth and returns to the soil after use, suppresses stuffiness and stickiness, and achieves a refreshing feel.
·Functionality
Inside the mask, Toyobo's antiviral processing material Viablock® (*2), which is characterized by its ability to suppress harmful substances such as viruses and its deodorizing function, is used. In addition, by sandwiching the "NafiaS® sheet (*3)" using nanofibers inside, it has a double structure that catches water and fine particles.
"NafiaS® Sheet" is interchangeable and can be used for other cloth masks and handmade masks.

* Measured at Asahi Kasei Corporation Product Science Research Laboratories
Bemberg® has three characteristics.
① "Skin-friendly" fine and moist material
…The fibers are extremely thin and have a cross section that is close to a perfect circle. It is less likely to damage delicate skin.
In addition, the official moisture content* is very high, so it feels moist.
* Moisture content in the fiber in an environment with a temperature of 20°C and a humidity of 60%
* Measured at Asahi Kasei Corporation Product Science Research Laboratories
② "Comfortable all year round" Refreshing comfort
…Since moisture is quickly absorbed and released from extremely small invisible water passages, it reduces stuffiness and stickiness, and achieves a refreshing feel. In addition, the high heat dissipation is also one of the factors that make it refreshing to wear.
…Cotton linter, which is the raw material of Bemberg®, is a by-product of the production of cottonseed oil and is not used as cotton thread. Asahi Kasei's proprietary technology refines and dissolves the downy hair to create a pure, eco-friendly regenerated fiber. In addition, it is a fiber that has less impact on the environment as it returns to the soil after use.
*2 What is Toyobo's Via Block®?
Viablock® has three features.
(1) Suppression function Absorbs harmful substances such as viruses and suppresses their proliferation.
(2) Deodorizing function Absorbs substances that cause bad odors, such as ammonia and amines.
(3) Safety Clears the toxicity test, mutagenicity test, skin irritation test, and skin sensitization test required to obtain the "SEK antiviral processing mark"
*3 What is the replaceable “nanofiber NafiaS® sheet”?
Shinshu University, which has the only textile department in Japan, and a company have successfully commercialized nanofibers through joint development by industry-academia collaboration. NafiaS® is an "advanced nanotechnology fiber material" that uses this nanofiber. It is a major feature that it is easy to breathe through the air and catches water and fine particles. Use it by inserting it inside the mask.
This time, it is also sold as a single item, so it can be used with other cloth masks, handmade masks, and children's masks.
About the TOYOSHIMA× Makuake project
While it is necessary to wear a mask every day due to the influence of the new virus, TOYOSHIMA supports Makuake while responding to the voices and needs of purchasers, making use of the strengths of a trading company that handles textiles and fashion, and focusing on design, materials and functionality.

In the second project “Mask you want to use forever”, which was held from April 9th to May 29th, 2020, it was ranked in the all-time support purchase ranking in Makuake.
