Crowdfunding for the "Igusa Fan with Carabiner" made from rare Kyushu-grown Igusa grass has begun on CAMPFIRE!

The Kyushu branch of Motobayashi Co., Ltd. has the slogan "From Kyushu to the World" and is working with Kyushu's craftspeople to create products that share locally rooted products and ideas with the world. While deepening ties with local industries, the company came across "hanagoza" (flower mats) produced in the Chikugo region of Fukuoka and was attracted by their durability, beautiful weaving pattern and above all, the characteristics of "Kyushu-grown rush grass."

We want to spread the appeal of rare Japanese-grown rush grass to more people! With this in mind, we have teamed up with two camping-loving influencers (Tanaki and Nami) to create a fan made of Kyushu-grown rush grass that will fit into modern life, and today we have started selling it on the crowdfunding site "CAMPFIRE"!
