More about the Brand Owner

植村秀一

UEMURA SHUICHI

Born in Kagoshima in 1965, he became the second generation of a 50-year-old printing shop at the age of 31. For 39 years since its founding, he has specialized in subcontracting in the same industry. Caught in the rough seas, he launched the "Ai Kagoshima Project" (now AIKAGO) with the aim of breaking away from subcontracting and aiming for PR of the company while contributing to the community. Utilizing the technology and knowledge cultivated over 35 years in the printing industry, we are currently working on more than 600 types of original products.

Attracting "Attention to the Community" and Aiming for Regional Revitalization and Contribution to the Community

AIKAGO is a brand that was born about 12 years ago from the fateful reunion of a printer and a designer.

Since we are both working in the printing industry and in a public relations position, we started activities under the title of "Ai Kagoshima Project" (now AIKAGO) with the idea of doing something to promote ourselves while contributing to our hometown of Kagoshima.

The designer painted the scenery and local specialties of Kagoshima in watercolors, and held a solo exhibition of his watercolors. AIKAGO began selling watercolor paintings as notepads and one-stroke notes during his solo exhibition.

AIKAGO commercialized the first watercolor painting

The solo exhibition was very well received, and as a result of the publication of the pattern in the newspaper, we were approached by various companies.

As a result, we were able to deliver the culture and scenery of Kagoshima to as many people as possible.

I want to deliver more of Kagoshima's culture and history to people outside the prefecture and overseas! And we aim to create products that will energize not only the people of Kagoshima Prefecture but also those who visit Kagoshima.

What are we doing?

AIKAGO aims to make use of Kagoshima's culture, scenery, and specialty products to create products that excite people.

In particular, our signature product "Katsu Ash Bag" series is based on the motif of a certain "bag" that every Kagoshima resident has seen at least once.

Sakurajima, the symbol of Kagoshima, is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan. The "ash" that erupts when Sakurajima explodes has been regarded as a nuisance by the people of Kagoshima Prefecture. The bag that collects and collects the ash is called the "ash bag."

Actual "ash bags" issued by Kagoshima City

At first, the ash bag was called an "ash bag" and was just a bag for storing ashfall.

The reason why it was gradually reborn as an "ash bag" was because of the strong desire of the people of Kagoshima Prefecture to overcome the ashes.

The ash bag has now become the culture of the people of Kagoshima and has become a symbol of Sakurajima.

By manufacturing and selling products with the motif of Kagoshima,

I hope that it can be a piece that stimulates more people's interest in "Kagoshima"

We are involved in the planning and manufacture of new products on a daily basis.

Among them, the "Ash Bag" series is very popular, and it takes time and effort to produce them one by one.

As a result, it will be a product that matches the manufacturer's thoughts.

In addition, our strength is that we can make use of our knowledge and technology in the printing industry to carry out planning, manufacturing, sales, and sales in an integrated manner.

As soon as I have an idea, I create a design and give shape to the product.

Commitment to the product

We are also actively working on the SDGs, and since the launch of AIKAGO about 12 years ago, we have been working on many products using "bamboo paper".

As the name suggests, bamboo paper is a paper manufactured from bamboo.

In Kagoshima, which ranks first in Japan in terms of bamboo forest area, bamboo trees that have fallen due to typhoons and other disasters are scattered.

There was a big problem that if the fallen trees were left as they were, new bamboo would not grow.

We use bamboo paper manufactured from 100% pure bamboo to make use of the fallen wood.

This is also an initiative for the revitalization of satoyama, and it is greatly related to the 12 "Responsible Consumption and Production" of the SDGs.

Also, when manufacturing printed matter, "scrap materials" inevitably come out.

There are also products that make use of the scrap materials to handle packaging.

Scraps are used for the backing of the notepad

When creating notebooks, the spine is carefully sewn one by one using the thread manufacturing method, with the aim of making it natural.

In this way, we plan and manufacture products with the aim of eliminating waste and creating a circular product cycle.

Who are supporting us?

Impactful products such as ash bags are purchased not only by Kagoshima residents but also by inbound customers.

There are a wide variety of products depicting Kagoshima in watercolor, from picture postcards to magnets, and are popular as souvenirs that do not weigh down.

Products made of bamboo paper are comfortable to write on, and are recommended for repeat purchases and daily use.
