About MITSUROU WRAP

The Kyoya Dyestuff store is working to create a sustainable society. Sustainable means “sustainable” and “can continue for a long time,” and efforts are being made as a global goal.

The Kyoya dye store has seven items in the SDGs “Sustainable Development Goals” (*17 international goals from 2016 to 2030, consisting of 17 goals to achieve a sustainable world and 169 targets). I got the certification.
This time, we will release beeswax wrap made of materials that do not use plastic products as one of our sustainable manufacturing efforts.
The beeswax wrap fabric is made of organic cotton hand towel fabric hand-dyed by craftsmen at a factory that has acquired the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 process certification. We made the dyed fabric that I was particular about, soaked with natural beeswax from Iwate prefecture, wood resin used in foods, and organic jojoba oil. We carefully manufacture all the processes one by one.

Beeswax has antibacterial and moisturizing effects, so you can wrap it with confidence while keeping the food fresh.
It can be washed and used many times, and if you use it carefully, it will also function as a wrap for a long time.
Since it uses materials derived from nature, it is an eco-friendly wrap that can be returned to the soil after use.

* Beeswax: A “wax” taken from a beehive.

[ume-bachi-kikko]
The hexagonal honeycomb is a pattern called “Kameko” in Japanese traditional pattern. As its name suggests, it is a Kichisho pattern that overlays the image of the turtle shell and wishes for longevity. The pattern in which the same shape is continuous has a lasting meaning, and can contain a “wish for long-lasting longevity”. Into the tortoiseshell pattern, we put a “Umebachi” which is a symbol of Japanese “Ume” into a pattern. Ume, which is fragrant in the cold winter, represents nobility. A design with various shapes and wishes such as plums, bees, and turtle shells.

【ichimatsu-nabana】
“Nanohana”, a city flower in Ichinoseki City, where the Kyoya dye shop is located, has a checkered pattern. The Ichimatsu pattern is a traditional pattern that has been loved since the Edo era, and since it continues without interruption, it has the meaning of prosperity. The dyeing at the Kyoya dye shop is performed by a technique called “printing”.

Since the plates are dyed differently for each color, we usually put a white edge between the colors so that the colors do not mix, but this time we use the method called “Butting” to dye the white edge. I took advantage of the fun of bleeding. We hope that you will be able to help decorate your dining table with the different interesting bleeding and the gentle and bright shades of rape.

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.
