The "ReEDEN" series is a project by Kokuyo Kogyo Shiga that aims to purify the water quality of Lake Biwa by utilizing the plant "Yoshi (reed)" that inhabits Lake Biwa. Since 2007, we have been selling paper products using Yoshi from the Lake Biwa / Yodo River system.

The "Biwako Clip" released this time is a clip that expresses Lake Biwa and fish. The part to be fastened is in the shape of a fish, and it is designed so that you can enjoy both the front and back when you fasten the paper.
