Kusuyama and Doi's "Rebirth of Furoshiki, the Demonstration and Sales Theater Group REBORN" was selected as one of the best 100 in Japan in the National High School Business Plan Grand Prix sponsored by the Japan Finance Corporation. This is the best 100 out of more than 5,000 entries, which means that they were in the top 2%.

Kusuyama and colleagues devised a business plan based on the theme of "preserving the Japanese wrapping culture," which they had been working on as a project without a business in mind. The plan was not a profit-seeking one, but a sustainable business, which could be called a social business, and it was successfully selected as one of the best 100.
