As part of the emergency response to the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake, the Paper Partition System (PPS) was installed on August 5 at a gymnasium serving as an evacuation shelter in Hikawa Town, Kumamoto Prefecture.
The PPS is designed to improve living conditions in evacuation shelters by providing privacy for evacuees and creating a safer, more comfortable environment during their stay.
We will continue to support shelters accommodating evacuees over the long term by providing PPS and working to improve evacuation shelter environments.

In cooperation with: Shinichi Utsumi (LifeWork), Toru Yabashi (Toru Yabashi Architects), Masakiyo Kawasaki (Masakiyo Kawasaki Architectural Design), and Takumi Ueno
