Ending sales of “Hamako no The Water”

Order acceptance has been closed as of August 31, 2022.

　Since fiscal 2003, the “Hamako Water” project has promoted the connection between Doshimura and Yokohama City, a water source forest unique to Yokohama, and the importance of the watershed forest conservation. During the 20 years since the start of the project, the social interest in environmental issues, especially plastic issues, and Yokohama City was selected as a future city of SDGs and aiming for zero carbon by 2050.
　In light of this situation, we have decided to end sales of "Hamako no The Water" in fiscal 2022.
　With the support of everyone, "Hamako Do The Water" has sold a cumulative total of about 23 million copies in about 20 years, and we were able to develop our business.
　Thank you very much for your patronage for many years.
