Itabashi Ward, Tokyo Gas, and Tokyo Gas Lifeval Takeuchi Sign Comprehensive Partnership Agreement for Solving Local Issues and Value Creation

Itabashi Ward is a living city with a population of 580,000, an attractive town where history and the breath of a new era play in harmony. Leveraging its connection with the city of Bologna, Italy, its diverse collection of overseas picture books, and the concentration of its printing and bookbinding industry, the ward is developing and promoting 'Picture Book Town Itabashi' as its unique brand using its own picture book resources. By incorporating elements of 'picture books'—which anyone can easily understand—into various projects, the ward aims to be a continuously growing city that leaves no one behind.
