In 2013, Hinoki supported a relatively-unknown Japanese space startup called ispace. And just four years later, ispace was ready for its first space launch to the moon. The moon rover displayed here, "Sorato", is built to the same specifications as the actual moon rover which will explore the moon for the very first time in the history of the Japanese space industry. On August 24th, 2017, ispace delivered this model as a gift to Hinoki in recognition of its early support. And it is Hinoki’s commitment to support the vision of Mr. Hakamada, CEO of ispace, to make “Reality as a dream.” |
