【Seeds of Hope Project】

This project seeks sponsorship partners for events and exhibitions at GREEN×EXPO 2027, originating from the "Seeds of Hope."

The official character "Tunk Tunk" and plant seeds completed their mission aboard the ISS "Kibo" Japanese Experiment Module and returned to Earth in June 2026. This project will feature events at the venue and a flowerbed display where the seeds that traveled through space will bloom. Through these initiatives, which allow visitors and the next generation to experience the perspective of Earth from space and the interconnectedness of life, we aim to create opportunities for them to think about the environment and the future.

*Regarding the project name "Seeds of Hope":

It derives from "hope" for the realization of the Expo's theme "Tomorrow's Scenery that Creates Happiness," and from the "Kibo" Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station (ISS) where the seeds stayed.
