Cycraft was launched with the mission of "producing and consuming waste locally." On remote islands, especially in Ishigaki City and Taketomi Town, the recycling rate for glass, plastic, iron, etc. is very low, and there are no processing facilities, so currently the only option is to send them by ship to Okinawa's main island or Kyushu. We aim to recycle all types of recyclable waste and distribute it on the island. As a first step, we are melting and molding marine plastic waste, industrial waste, and plastic pallets that are piled up in the ports of remote islands and have nowhere to go in our workshop, and selling them as products that are useful for daily life on the islands and as unique souvenirs.

Nice to meet you. I am Ishigakijima Kukuruya. I was born in Okinawa and grew up on Ishigakijima, and I wanted to share the ocean that I felt, so in 2020 I opened Ishigakijima's first resin art shop. As a resin artist, I work in production, sales, and as a lecturer. Thanks to the many customers who have visited us so far, we will be celebrating our 5th anniversary in June 2025. In addition to resin art, we also offer Shisa painting, Ryukyu glass accessory making, and photo frame experiences. We are also planning to offer new plans from time to time. We look forward to your continued support.
