About the exhibition venue

In the exhibition hall, companies involved in the life-life planning business, including the sponsor and co-sponsor companies, will set up experience booths, consultation booths, and exhibition booths to help you update your life from someone else's business to your own.

(Examples: Corner to experience filling out an ending note, Itakoto exhibition, professional consultation booths, coffin entry experience corner, stamp rally, etc.)

Crowdfunding to continue the event!

In the course of developing life planning consultations and seminars on end-of-life planning, we have realized the need to change the established image of "end-of-life planning = elderly and gloomy". We have to change the image of "life planning is a part of life planning. We must create a society in which everyone takes the idea for granted and discusses it normally." We thought so, but since this was an issue for the community, and by extension, for Japan, it was difficult to accomplish by our company alone, and we were limited to steady activities in familiar places.

That is when we came across the "Itakoto Exhibition. This is an event planned and operated by itakoto, a company founded by Atsushi Tamura of London Boots No. 1 and No. 2, where lumps of the heart collected on social networking sites are exhibited, providing an opportunity to think about one's life and loved ones through them. Impressed by the direction of our company and the compatibility with "Arigato Note(R)", we decided to hold the "Arigato Note(R) x itakoto Exhibition".

With the cooperation of local end-of-life businesses in exhibiting and support from the government and local media, we are convinced that this is an event that should be addressed as a community issue. By making this event a success and continuing it, we hope to foster a culture that views end-of-life planning in a positive light.

However, as a small company with a total of four people, including our 74-year-old president, one full-time staff member, one part-time staff member, and one part-time board member, we are struggling to secure funding for the event. Therefore, we have launched this crowdfunding project to ask for your help.

This project is not just about supporting an event. It is the first step toward changing society's attitude toward end-of-life care and creating a community where everyone can think about ending their lives in their own way.
