After understanding the purpose and business policy of this facility, ITOKI was able to create furniture and toys that matched the purpose of each space and the content of play, just as we envisioned. I believe that they worked with a high level of awareness of safety and robustness. They create attractive products, and all of them are very popular with customers. Currently, due to the effects of the coronavirus, we are only selling about half of our toys, but we have so many items that our customers are surprised and wonder, "Is this half the total?"
