Experience the Craft of Mini Randoseru Creation

Seiban Co., Ltd., headquartered in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture, under the leadership of President Takashi Izumi, is set to launch an exciting workshop titled “Hane Land” starting October 2, 2025. This event will run in 14 Seiban stores across the country and welcome participants of all ages without the need for prior reservations.

What is “Hane Land”?

The “Hane Land” workshop invites attendees to assemble unique mini randoseru (Japanese school backpacks) made from leftover materials. Participants can customize their creations with various decorative stickers to make each piece truly one-of-a-kind. The workshop aims to instill the joy of craftsmanship, foster concentration, and stimulate creativity in participants, along with a sense of accomplishment for having completed a project independently.

Over the years, “Hane Land” has garnered immense popularity with a cumulative participation rate exceeding 1,000 groups since its inception in 2024. This year, exciting new colors have been added, including Camel, Mermaid Green, and Pearl Blue.
