"World Wide Straw Foundation Project"(2008 - )
one straw can change your life (!?)
"The project is to pormote the idea of playing the straw, and the original straws, which was designed by myselft and manufactured by a straw company in Japan.
In 2008, 1000 straws, the first model, was produced and as I started to give them to people I also asked them for donation to reproduce more straws. In 2010, out of the donation from the people I met in Canada, Austria, Netherlands, and Japan, I was able to make the second model and ordered 2000 more straws. "
