Background of Project Participation
Under the philosophy of "Realizing an Inclusive Society," the Wakayama Social Welfare Corporation operates an art gallery and holds the planning exhibition "Art in Wakayama: Where Souls Meet" to widely convey the appeal of art created by people with disabilities. The "Colour Project," born from these activities, aims to create new social value and commercialize products by combining the artistic multifaceted nature of the creators with the techniques of manufacturers supporting Japanese craftsmanship. Deeply resonating with this philosophy, Osaka Ace decided to participate in this project, wishing to create a form where people can enjoy the artists' works in their daily lives through its own "paper soap."
