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."

Features of the New Product

Yellow sunflower design is Citrus, pink Alpaca is Rose scent.

A collaboration product with creators is born! Inside the tin case are individually wrapped paper soaps, convenient for carrying around. The free and straightforward sensibility dwelling in each piece of work. Keeping that charm intact, we have finished it into paper soap that can be used in daily life. It is an individually wrapped type that can be used on the face, body, and whole body, making it very useful for traveling or going out with children. The tin case with wonderful pictures printed on it is also recommended as a gift for your loved ones. Even after you finish using them all, you can put refill paper soap (sold separately) inside and continue to use it for a long time.
