A message from our Director, Tasuku Honjo, has been made into a T-shirt as part of UNIQLO’s “PEACE FOR ALL” project, launching on September 26, 2025.

The project produces and sells T-shirts designed by prominent individuals who have a sincere wish for world peace and a desire to take action. All profits (equivalent to 20% of the initial price in Japan per shirt) are donated to three humanitarian aid organizations.

Mr. Tadashi Yanai, Chairman, President, and CEO of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., which operates UNIQLO, has been donating a total of 5 billion yen to our center. This contribution was aimed at promoting the PD-1 inhibitor cancer immunotherapy and fostering the next generation of cancer immunotherapy researchers led by Director Honjo.

As a center, we are deeply pleased to see that the profound mutual understanding between our organizations has come to fruition in this form as well.
