Newtec Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Yokohama City, CEO: Tokuhiro Shiraishi) will begin pre-order sales of "T-shirts & Eco-bags" incorporating the concept of "Welfare x Art"—one of their ongoing initiatives supporting people with disabilities—from their original brand "Kamakura Tenmaku" in collaboration with NANGA.
■ Background of Product Development
'studio COOCA' engages in creative activities to support the employment of individuals with disabilities.
The origin of the name COOCA carries two grand themes.
"Kuu-ka" (Empty and Possible) means packing "possibilities" into an "empty" space.
Furthermore, it relates to the questions "How do we eat (kuuka)?" and "To eat is to live."
studio COOCA's activity is about leveraging the unique personalities and characteristics of people with handicaps. The artworks created through their collaborative work embody the "diversity expanded by engaging through ART and DESIGN, transcending the boundaries of supporters and users," and "drawing out and utilizing sensitivities."
The collaboration was born when NANGA resonated with Kamakura Tenmaku's strong desire to "create an opportunity for many people to get involved in welfare through an outdoor gear manufacturer" by combining these "activities supporting independence" with artworks where "no two identical pieces exist."

Because everyone desires a compassionate society, Kamakura Tenmaku will continue its "Welfare x Art" project.
We hope that many people will resonate with this through our products, and that this project will develop even further.

■ COOCA ECO BAG
Kamakura Tenmaku's brand color 'DEEP SEA' was born in this ultra-lightweight and compactly storable eco-bag modeled after a stored sleeping bag.
The bag's size is equivalent to a medium-sized plastic shopping bag, designed to perfectly fit six 1-liter milk cartons. It allows you to carry items without getting the contents wet, from everyday use to outdoor scenes.
The material adopted is 20dn ripstop nylon with a light water-repellent finish, a highly durable fabric that has also been used in Nanga's inner series.
Combining lightness and compactness, this 'ultra-light eco-bag' is an excellent item that won't get in the way even if put in your pocket, and can also be attached to bags or sacoches using a carabiner.
