The Future Design Division
"Solving the world's problems and social issues through products, events, and services"
It was founded with the mission:
For a sustainable society and a prosperous life for each individual,
Looking ahead to the future 10 years from now, we are looking at environmental issues, nursing care, and welfare.
We work every day to solve a variety of problems.
Together with our many partners,
We will continue to take on the challenge of creating a society where everyone can live vibrantly and be themselves.
[Improvement of living and living environment]
~Universal tape that supports everyday life~
We aim to create a society where everyone can live naturally and true to themselves.
One of our initiatives toward this goal is the promotion of Universal Tape, a silicone-based assistive tool.
Universal Tape can be wrapped around everyday items such as spoons, forks, and stationery to improve grip and usability. With just a simple adjustment, it supports a more comfortable daily life and helps people enjoy everyday activities as something truly “ordinary.”
At exhibitions, events, and academic conferences, we introduce the features and applications of Universal Tape through real-life examples, sharing its potential with a wide audience.
In welfare-related schools, we conduct classes and workshops on making assistive devices using Universal Tape, encouraging future care and welfare professionals to apply it in their work.
We also visit hospitals and care facilities directly, where we actively engage in volunteer activities such as assistive device making and home environment improvement.

[Care support]
~Seminar on making assistive devices~
We offer online workshops on making assistive devices to help caregivers address challenges related to assistive tools and reduce their workload.
In these sessions, we introduce the features of Universal Tape and demonstrate its practical applications.
The basic use of Universal Tape is simple: just wrap it around items you already use in daily life.
No special tools or crafting skills are required.
By utilizing this versatile and easy-to-use tape, we believe we can contribute to the early realization of a society where everyone can live their daily lives as naturally as possible.

[Employment support]
~ Aiming to improve quality of life ~
We are committed to addressing one of the most important challenges faced by Type B Continuous Employment Support Offices in Japan: improving wages for service users.
We believe this is essential to enhancing their quality of life and enabling richer, more fulfilling daily living.
Our initiatives are diverse. In addition to tasks such as packaging and labeling Universal Tape, users also engage in designing and producing eco-friendly products made from recycled materials, as well as participating in sales activities.
We do not view this as a simple subcontracting relationship. Instead, we work hand in hand with each office as equal partners, striving together to improve wages.
Through these efforts, we aim to contribute to both the joy of working and the improvement of quality of life for all service users.

[Information sharing]
~Sharing solutions and creating the future~
We are committed to shining a light on the everyday challenges that anyone may face and to sharing practical solutions.
We believe that one person’s solution can surely become someone else’s support.
With this in mind, we actively share our activities not only through this dedicated website but also on Instagram, YouTube, and X, featuring real voices and experiences from people who have used our products.
The main themes we share include:
[Environmentally Conscious Product Development]
Creating products from recycled materials and pursuing initiatives that are kind to both people and the planet.
[Universal Tape in Action]
Tips on making assistive devices and improving living environments, offering ideas that lead to a higher quality of life.
[Efforts to Improve Wages at Type B Employment Support Facilities]
Our concrete initiatives that help bring out users’ skills and foster the joy of working.

[Building connections and communities]
~A joint challenge to realize a symbiotic society~
We cherish each and every encounter,
We are listening carefully to the feedback we receive.
What can we do to address the challenges that arise?
Digging deeper into what value we can provide,
We are always taking on new challenges.
The bigger the challenge,
We cannot solve this problem on our own.
That is why we work with a diverse range of partners, each with their own strengths and expertise.
I believe cooperation is essential.
While maintaining an equal relationship, we share our respective wisdom and skills,
And the thought, "I hope it turns out like this"
We value sharing.
By doing so, we can overcome even the biggest challenges we cannot overcome alone.
I believe we can overcome this together.
