Towards a Tomorrow Where Everyone Smiles and Says, 'My Life Was Happy.' Realizing a Compassionate Society Where Each Person's Story Becomes a 'Treasure.'

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is the dream of Tekodeko Dream Lab Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Rika Ikeo; HP: https://tekodekorecollection.com/).

Our dream is to create a society where everyone can smile and say, 'My life had its ups and downs, but it was happy,' and connect with others through warm compassion.

Especially now, when efficiency and numbers tend to take precedence, we want to prioritize the invisible 'colors of life' above all else.

**■ When you can love 'the self who has worked hard,' people can be kinder to their neighbors.**

We have quietly listened to the life journeys of many people. When they affirmed the path they had walked, their eyes sparkled. We have witnessed such beautiful moments many times. 'You are wonderful just as you are' — when people learn to love themselves this way, they naturally become kinder to those around them. We believe this to be true.

**■ Knowing 'stories' is the first step to opening the heart's door.**

To know someone's past is to touch the 'roots of their heart.' Casual moments spent with family and friends, reminiscing 'that's what happened back then,' will surely melt away loneliness and envelop society in warmth. 'Compassion' begins with knowing each other's stories.

Episode: A mother and daughter's journey of the heart, started by a single photograph.

**■ A place where everyone can be the 'protagonist' of their own story.**

Children, adults, and our elders alike. We want everyone living together in this era to be the proud protagonist of their own story. No matter what stage of life they are in, we want them to be able to say, 'I like who I am now.' We want to create a warm world where everyone's journey is mutually respected.

**■ The future landscape we envision.**

To increase moments where we share the treasure called life and rejoice together. Towards a warm future where the whole world is filled with smiles saying, 'I'm glad I was born, I'm happy now.' We will continue to gently accompany each person's story and move forward with all our hearts.
