Announcement of the Sanbō Branch School Special Program "Hope is Burning"

We sincerely thank you for your exceptional support.
We would like to inform you that a special program titled "Hope is Burning," sponsored by our company, was broadcast on the Ehime Prefecture terrestrial television station "Ai TV."
The Sanbe Branch of Uwajima High School in Ehime Prefecture is a school that was established with the efforts of Kamesaburo Yamashita, the founder of our predecessor, Yamashita Shipping.
Opened in 1920 as "Second Yamashita Practical High School," it transitioned to a prefectural school in 1948 and began a new chapter as "Ehime Prefectural Sanbe High School." Located in Sanbe Town, Nishimurakami City, surrounded by three bays of a ria coastline and mountains, the Sanbe Branch of Uwajima High School has been cherished by the community for many years as the only high school in the area. At its peak in 1965, the school had 750 students, but due to the declining birthrate, the number of students has decreased year by year. In 2020, it became a branch of Uwajima High School, and in April 2025, it will close its doors, marking the end of its 105-year history.
This program presents a documentary that follows the Sanbe Branch, which has nurtured many students as a learning institution rooted in the community, during its final three years leading up to its closure. Please watch it at the following URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkHNYLFWcVg
