The soft kimonos keep the children warm, offer them comfort and the animals shall give them courage and strength in the healing process.

The 'smart tagging' and use of Blockchain Technology tells the story of materials and manufacturing processes and verifies the transparent supply chain of this garment.
Implementation this technology offers proof of the sustainable-, social standards along the entire supply chain.

It also has the potential to provide direct donations to the local children's cancer relief organisation, TAPCCO which support the young patients and their families.
