Forest Service TSUNAGU (Headquarters: Kumamoto City; CEO: Shoji Sato), which focuses on forest management consulting and environmental education support, has officially launched the 'Nenrin Domino' donation project. This initiative delivers authentic nature experiences to children and visualizes corporate environmental contributions.
### Project Background: Bringing Back the 'Real Touch' to Education
In modern educational settings, opportunities for children to touch the texture of real nature are decreasing. We believe that 'primal forest experiences' through the five senses are the first step in nurturing rich sensibilities. This project aims to deliver high-quality environmental education programs to nurseries and educational facilities nationwide, where children learn the 'role of the forest' through play, rather than just receiving toys.
### Three Innovative Elements of the Project
1. **Touch Experience**: Two materials stimulate the senses. Sugi (Cedar) is soft and warm with a semi-circular shape for creative play. Hinoki (Cypress) offers an elegant scent and precise lines to foster concentration.
2. **Learn through Knowledge**: Manga educational materials. Includes original manga by artist Misako Hirata (e.g., 'Oyaman-ga'). Children naturally deepen their understanding of tree ecology and forestry through domino play.
3. **Visualize Impact**: Numerical proof of corporate contribution. We provide 'Wood Sign Blocks' that visualize how much carbon the donated wood has fixed and how much CO2 it has absorbed. Invisible environmental contributions are shown in specific numbers, proving the company's commitment.
### Strategic Investment Benefits for Companies
Participation is a strategic investment that brings returns to both society and the company:
- **Return to Environment**: Direct contribution to the forest conservation cycle through the effective use of thinned wood, practicing concrete actions toward a decarbonized society.
- **Improvement of Corporate Reputation**: Enhancing brand value as a company committed to education and environmental preservation, supporting the development of environmentally conscious talent for the future.
### Track Record
1. **Yamanami Kodomoen (Kumamoto City)**: In April 2026, we donated 600 pieces of Cedar Nenrin Dominoes. Staff praised it as an excellent material for playing and learning.
2. **Children's 3rd Place (Isa City, Kagoshima)**: In April 2026, we donated 360 pieces of Cypress Nenrin Dominoes. Mayor Hashimoto expressed his desire to utilize it for forest education events.
### About Forest Service TSUNAGU
Based on the concept 'Delivering the pulse of the forest from hands to children,' we connect people and forests through 'Nenrin Domino' toys. We welcome partnerships, orders, and inquiries from companies nationwide to bring the 'real forest' into classrooms. We also offer event support such as donation ceremonies and domino tournaments.
