In Japan, traditional crafts and techniques passed down by artisans are at risk of disappearing due to a lack of successors. However, there's a new generation of young entrepreneurs (Culturepreneurs) who recognize the value of our endangered cultural assets and are determined to breathe new life into them.

Their presence might spark a significant movement in the future through collaborations across industries and uncovering hidden needs. 

Sea Vegetable was selected as one of the 30 promising Culturepreneur candidates under 45 years old who are expected to grow in the future.
