This Kano is currentlyKickstarterDuring the recruitment of the investment, it is possible to get a complete set of Kano kits (119 dollars inclusive of worldwide shipping fee) with an investment of 119 dollars (about 12,000 yen), delivery will be scheduled for July 2014 It is getting. In addition, if you do a $ 199 (about 20,000 yen) investment, you can get one Kano kit for yourself, and you can present one kit to children around the world that Kano supports. Prior to soliciting investment with Kickstarter, we also have sold 200 prototype Kano kits, and in just 5 days after we recruited investment, we exceeded the target price of 100 thousand dollars (about 10 million yen) We are collecting more than dollars (about 66 million yen).


The deadline for the investment is until 4:54 am on December 20th.
