About “-ship Project”
“Imabari. Yume Sport Inc.”
is a company striving
“to contribute to
realize the society in
which we prioritize spiritual wealth
over
material wealth
for future generations,”
and kaonavi is a
company striving
“to make ‘WORK’ more fulfilling.”
With similar passions,
these two have teamed up and
launched
this project to empower the
people and the land of Imabari.
Imabari. Yume Sport
- “ship” as in vessels
- Imabari, a city famous for shipbuilding, is a city that “connects” lands, so to speak. “Imabari. Yume Sport Inc.” also cares to “pass on” their passion to future generations.
- “-ship” as a suffix
- Added to the end of nouns, it denotes condition, attitude, etc., and kaonavi embraces diversity and a sense of expansion that this suffix represents.
“-ship” initiatives
Beginning with the "partner-ship," we
will continue to
implement all sorts of
"-ship" initiatives. Don't miss it!
