Stage01: We visit local cultural shops to learn about brand stories and their pain point

The traditional craft of weaving with bulrush has gradually become less popular among younger generations due to its perceived labor-intensive nature. As master weavers age, this skill has started to fade into obscurity.

Taking this technique as an example, with the passing of this national treasure master, it has now become lost.

Furthermore, bulrush products are primarily sold in local stores, making it challenging to transition to online sales.

After visiting local shops in person, we hope to create an e-commerce platform dedicated to promoting local culture.
