About the awarded products

1.Personal planner JIBUN_TECHO (2015)

JIBUN_TECHO is the first-of-its-kind personal planner that a creator of a major ad agency, Hideaki Sakuma, designed the pages. It is a new style of personal planner consisting of three separate books, including "Life"; a long-term life-log of you and your family, "Diary"; a record of day-to-day plans and activities on a 24-hour timeline, and "Idea" for writing down ideas.

2.Whiteboard marker Yokumi-L (Direct liquid-type cartridge)

Designed to solve the customers' two major areas of dissatisfaction, which is the inability to see the remaining quantity of ink (64.2%) and the marker runs out of ink and the ink gets thin (70.5%) (n = 600, surveyed by KOKUYO), the Yokumi-L succeeds in allowing users to see the remaining quantity of ink at a glance by preventing the adherence of ink on a cartridge, as well as to constantly supply dark ink to the land with the introduction of newly-developed direct-liquid structure.
