Endangered Species of Japan Flake Stickers · Seal-Do

Designed by Shinzi Katoh, a miscellaneous goods designer and picture book writer.

These flake stickers use banana paper, which is characterized by its gentle color and natural texture.
Banana paper is a fair trade paper made from "banana fiber" taken from organic banana stems in Zambia, Africa. This high-quality, beautiful paper was created through a partnership between Africa and Japan, using banana fiber that is usually discarded as a raw material and utilizing Japanese washi paper technology.

By using banana paper, various sustainability activities can be carried out, such as wildlife and forest protection, solving poverty in Zambia, supporting education, and making effective use of waste.

Banana paper is connected to all 17 goals of the SDGs.

Currently, it is known that more than 25,000 species of animals and plants are at risk of extinction.
In order to protect endangered species that may one day disappear,
a portion of the sales will be donated to IUCN-J (Japan Committee for the International Union for Conservation of Nature) to support conservation activities.
