OS Co., Ltd. is participating in the 'Shirahama Connect Project,' a regional community dedicated to sustainable urban development. In collaboration with Shirahama Municipal Shirahama Junior High School, local businesses, and the local government, they will launch the second edition of the local capsule toy 'Shirahama Gacha' on June 1, 2026. This product is a handkerchief-type capsule toy utilizing knit fabric scraps provided by Yamayo Textile Co., Ltd. Second-year students at Shirahama Junior High School participated in 15 special classes held between January and May 2026, learning about Shirahama's cultural and tourism resources, design, and information dissemination to develop product ideas. The six designs capture the charm of Shirahama rediscovered through the unique perspective of junior high students. Local companies, organizations, and welfare workshops participated in material supply, printing, cutting, and sewing, turning the project into a locally circular product. An unveiling ceremony was held on May 21, 2026, at the school, where students presented their designs and the thoughts behind them.
