Nakayoku Stories
Stories of people making others smile
A world of smiles,
a world in Nakayoku (Friendship)
Just like the Sanrio kawaii culture became a global phenomenon, we want to spread nakayoku, the concept of everyone getting along together, all around the world.
Sanrio Nakayoku Project is Sanrio's social contribution activity that creates smiles around the world following our corporate philosophy of Minna Nakayoku (Getting Along Together).
