Ikehiko Continues Annual Donation of Rush Grass Nap Futons to Local Childcare Facilities in 2026

Ikehiko Corporation (Headquarters: Oki Town, Fukuoka; Representative: Kosei Inokuchi) donated rush grass nap futons to all childcare facilities in Oki Town in April 2026. This initiative, which has been ongoing since 2023, aims to provide a comfortable sleeping environment for children while reducing the burden on parents who manage daily childcare. Wishing for better sleep and healthy growth, the company gifted these natural material products to all children in the 3-year-old classes.

Providing Comfortable Nap Times for Local Children Ikehiko donates these futons to local childcare facilities. Rush grass is a natural material that adjusts humidity and has a gentle texture, making it comfortable in any season. We provide these products so that nap time can be a relaxing moment for children.

Easing the Burden of Childcare In addition to comfort, we prioritize reducing the burden on parents. Rush grass has natural deodorizing and stain-resistant properties, and maintenance is simple—just air-dry it in the shade on weekends. We believe that ease of use is a key value for busy parents.

Voices from Facilities Comment from Ms. Miyuki Aramaki, Director of Oki Hikari no Ko Kindergarten: "We received these mats for all 3-year-olds with the wish that they sleep soundly and grow healthily while wrapped in the scent of rush grass. The children smiled the moment they smelled the gentle scent. We feel the functionality of rush grass is perfect for children's sleep environments. Thank you for this heartwarming gift."

A Continuing Initiative Since 2023 This donation is not a one-time event but a community-rooted initiative. The mats use rush grass grown in Oki Town, connecting local industry with children. Ikehiko will continue to value its relationship with the local community through natural materials.
