Utsunomiya | 2026: Sashiko Brand 'TERAS' Expands Workshop Open House Events to Four Times a Year, Aiming for Open Factory Status

TOMOS company (Headquarters: Utsunomiya, Tochigi; Representative: Ryo Iijima), which operates the Sashiko brand 'TERAS,' will hold four open workshop sales events annually starting in 2026. The first event of 2026 is scheduled for April 18 (Sat) at the company's facility in Toho-gi, Utsunomiya City. TOMOS has been promoting its initiatives under the slogans 'Creating a brand from welfare' and 'Company local, products global' through the 'TERAS' brand, which focuses on SASHIKO and BORO. At these sales events, the production site for Sashiko and BORO is opened to the public, allowing visitors to enjoy purchasing products while interacting with the members involved in the creation process. For visitors, this serves as an entry point to see the production site of TERAS, and for the members, it is an opportunity to interact with customers and share their work. In the past, these events have attracted not only the members' families and supporters but also many first-time visitors. It also serves as a valuable opportunity for those considering the use of continuous employment support, recruiters from companies looking for general employment, support organizations, and school officials to engage in direct dialogue. We are also accepting inquiries from media and companies interested in visiting or covering the events. [2026 Schedule: Spring April 18 (Sat), Early Summer (Planned for June), Autumn (Planned for September), Winter (Planned for December). We hope this helps you feel the background of the craftsmanship and the atmosphere of the site, and experience the 'borderless world' that TOMOS aims for, where people work and live together regardless of disabilities. Details will be announced on our official website and social media.]
