A-7

① Mitsuhashi Paper is launching a recycled packaging line (for the food and beverage sector) (this autumn), (targeting manufacturers transitioning away from single-use plastics under Japan’s Plastic Resource Circulation Act). ② The new range includes water-resistant paperboard containers, laminate-free wrapping, and compostable trays (certified for direct food contact). ③ (Pricing is comparable to conventional plastic packaging at comparable volumes), (making the switch financially viable without significant cost increases). ④ (Sample kits and technical specification documents are available on request at green@mitsuhashi-paper.co.jp).

A-8

① (Despite the challenges posed by higher raw material costs), Tsubasa Industrial reported a stable operating margin of 8.4 percent for the second quarter. ② (The result was achieved through) aggressive cost optimization measures, (including the renegotiation of supplier contracts and a 3 percent reduction in energy consumption per unit produced). ③ (The company also benefited from) a weaker yen, (which boosted export revenues by approximately 4.1 billion yen). ④ Management said it expects margins to remain in the 8 to 9 percent range for the remainder of the fiscal year, (barring any further escalation in commodity prices).

段落1：Ocean Blue Seafood launched its nationwide direct-to-consumer subscription box last November. The service delivers premium fresh seafood — including sashimi-grade fish, shellfish, and specialty items — directly from partnered fishing ports in Hokkaido, Kyushu, and the San’in coast to subscribers’ doors within 24 hours of the catch.

段落2：The subscription quickly gained traction, with 18,000 boxes shipped in the first month. By March, this figure had grown to 62,000 monthly subscribers. The growth has been attributed primarily to word-of-mouth recommendations and a viral video series on social media featuring the fishing communities behind each delivery.

段落3：Despite the rapid growth, the company faced significant logistics challenges in ensuring consistent delivery quality in remote areas. In particular, same-day delivery in rural Hokkaido and Okinawa required the development of a dedicated cold-chain network that added considerable operational costs during the first half of the year.

段落4：Nevertheless, Ocean Blue reported a positive operating margin for the second half of the year and has since stabilized its logistics network. The company now plans to expand into Hong Kong and Taiwan within the next 18 months.

Major Renovation Transforms Osaka’s Historic Nakanoshima Museum District

The Osaka City Government announced the completion of a three-year renovation of the Nakanoshima Cultural District, home to three of the city’s most prominent museums — the Osaka Museum of Art, the Science and Innovation Pavilion, and the Maritime Heritage Gallery — along with new additions to the precinct.

The renovation, which cost 47.2 billion yen and was funded jointly by the city government and private donors, included the restoration of the Art Museum’s century-old brick facade, the construction of a 1,800-seat outdoor amphitheater, and the opening of a new underground gallery connecting all three institutions.

The project was completed three months ahead of schedule, a result the project director attributed to the use of 3D structural scanning technology that reduced the time required for facade assessment and restoration planning from an estimated 14 months to just six.

All three museums will reopen simultaneously on July 12, with free admission to all collections offered during the first two weeks. The outdoor amphitheater will host its inaugural event — a three-day international performing arts festival — on July 14.

Cultural heritage advocates have described the renovation as a model for balancing historical preservation with contemporary urban vitality. Nevertheless, some critics have argued that the renovation prioritizes tourism appeal over the needs of local communities, pointing to the limited expansion of educational programming for schools and the absence of free permanent gallery spaces for emerging local artists.
