Small art of traditional tsumugi Oshiehakoita

Traditional handicrafts “Oshiegogoita” and “Kiribako” in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture, and the hands of each crafter have created new handcrafted items that live traditionally.

In a small paulownia box filled with craftsmanship, “Oshie” art carefully made by Oshie artist is stored.
As the first collaboration, the “Oshie box board” from the popular character “Rilakkuma” series is now available in three lineups.

Oshie is a three-dimensional expression by putting a cloth on cardboard and putting cotton on it. Each face of Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, and Kiiroitori is carefully created by the hands of craftsmen.
The three-dimensional finish that Rilakkumas look into from the box is shaped by the work of an Oshie artist who requires skill.

The paulownia box has been designed so that the lid can be stored on the back by raising it.
In addition, when the lid is opened, the paulownia box is joined by “Tsumegumi” so that it looks like a frame that decorates Oshie art.
Each character is branded on the top of the lid.

Traditional small art Tsumugi small box (Oshiehakoita).

Eighty Years After the War: A Reflection on the Preciousness of Ordinary Life YUKIKAZE – In Theaters Nationwide from August 15, 2025

“To Return Alive, To Bring Others Home Alive”

Opening nationwide on August 15, 2025—marking eighty years since the end of World War II—YUKIKAZE is a feature film based on the true story of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) destroyer Yukikaze, a vessel that rescued countless lives amid the horrors of war. A press screening was held in advance at the Sony Pictures screening room.

The destroyer Yukikaze, which served throughout the Pacific War, was renowned for rescuing numerous sailors thrown into the sea during fierce naval battles, surviving to the end of the war virtually unscathed. It earned the legendary moniker “the lucky ship.” This film brings to life the ship’s heroic journey, alongside the lives of those who persevered through one of the most turbulent eras in modern history.

Leading the cast is Yutaka Takenouchi as Captain Kazutoshi Terasawa—a fictional amalgamation inspired by the real-life captains of Yukikaze. Hiroshi Tamaki portrays Petty Officer First Class Kohei Hayase. Supporting roles are delivered by an ensemble of acclaimed actors including Daiken Okudaira, Rena Tanaka, Kanji Ishimaru, and Toru Masuoka. Kiichi Nakai delivers a commanding performance as Vice Admiral Seiichi Itō, the Second Fleet Commander of the IJN who met his fate aboard the battleship Yamato.

In today’s world, once again shaken by division and violence, YUKIKAZE poses an urgent question to those of us living in the peace that others fought to protect: Are we once again treading the path of past mistakes? As collective memory of the war fades, this film becomes ever more vital—a call to reflect on the true value of peace.
