Be Co., Ltd.

Collaboration background
Be is engaged in a wide range of sustainable activities in order to be kind to both people and the earth. One of these is to focus on using domestically produced raw materials, which will lead to regional revitalization and expansion of farmland. The raw material used for the “Be Organic Hair Oil” included in the “Be Toshima Tsubaki Hair Care Limited Set” that will be sold this time is camellia oil produced in Toshima, Tokyo.
Toshima is one of Japan’s leading camellia producing areas, where organic cultivation is carried out in an environmentally friendly manner without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We produce organic oil using only the seeds of Yabutsubaki, an ancient Japanese variety, and we are proud to be number one in Japan (*1) in terms of production volume. However, it is said that it takes about 10 years to produce camellia oil, and in order to maintain camellia fields, some of the trees must be cut down as they grow to adjust the density of the overcrowded forest. A process called “thinning” is required. Since 600 to 1,000 trees are thinned annually on the entire island, the use of thinned wood has become an issue for the future. Therefore, Be wanted to help solve the problems of JA Toshima, the producer of camellia oil, by incorporating it into product development and making it an ongoing activity.We realized the use of camellia “thinned wood” and created Toshima’s In June 2022, we started a project to create attractive products that will give us strength in the future.
*1 There may be years when it is not ranked No. 1 due to fluctuations in production volume. (About Toshima | Toshima’s camellia oil “Kamidai Tsubaki” (https://ja-toshima.jp/ )).

After working at an architectural design firm, he became independent as KiNaKo in 2015. Started full-fledged architectural design and production of upcycled accessories using architectural scraps. TSUGI-WA is a bangle that uses scraps of wood and acrylic for its work, and uses the traditional construction method of joints (joints) at the joints, without using any glue or nails. There are works such as “contigo,” which were made using stainless steel that was used in restaurant kitchens, walls, and range hoods, and were intentionally left unfinished because we wanted everyone to make things and share the fun. A workshop for children using wood tile scraps was also held to provide an opportunity to learn about architecture and building materials.
