## Graduation is not "Goodbye," but the Beginning of a New "Story."
Our dream is to create a world where it is natural for all randoseru across Japan to be reborn as "treasures to be used for a lifetime" at the same time as graduation.
Until now, the randoseru, which had been with us for six years, would end its role upon graduation, sleeping in the back of a closet or eventually destined to be discarded. However, we want to change that fate. While "graduation" was once a milestone, we are transforming it into a "new beginning"—an encounter with a lifelong treasure.
In 2026, we declare: Japanese graduation ceremonies will become the day when a "remake culture" begins, connecting memories into new forms and reconfirming family bonds. It is the moment when the Japanese spirit of cherishing things will be passed down for the next 100 years.
## The Overflowing "Thoughts" of 145 Groups Created a New "Sacred Place."
This month, we, who usually accept orders from our e-commerce site, sought applications for face-to-face consultation sessions at our own workshop for the first time. Against the mere 20 slots prepared, we received heartfelt and passionate "thoughts" from 145 families.
"I want to meet directly and explain the reasons for these scratches," "I want to entrust the growth of these six years to a craftsman with my own hands."
The interaction with over 210,000 SNS followers in total, and these 145 "thoughts." It was a confident answer that precisely because digital is accelerating, people are seeking "visible warm connections" more than ever before.
On May 1, 2026, the new base "Askal 100-Year Memory Workshop" born in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, is a sacred place of dreams that brings together everyone's "thoughts." Craftsmen who have meticulously disassembled over 100,000 randoseru will connect a child's six years to an adult's 10, 20, and even 100 years into the future. This is the world's only hub for remake culture, where the convenience of the internet and the "warmth of a craftsman's fingertips" merge.
