Tsukrio/ Antway x note is hosting a submission contest: "#MyAllyInHousework"!
[Updated July 31]
The results have been announced! Please check them out via the article link below.
When you hear the word "housework," what comes to mind?
It might be the standard chores like cooking, laundry, and cleaning. But behind those, there is hidden housework that occurs frequently yet is hard to see and often goes unnoticed. For example, planning daily menus, refilling shampoo bottles, or gathering trash before collection day. Because these hidden chores are not easily visible from the outside, they often become a source of stress.
Even so, there might be moments when your heart feels lighter. Perhaps when your partner quietly takes over a hidden chore. When a convenient service or tool makes your life suddenly easier. Or when your unseen efforts are finally recognized.
This time, we are calling for stories about moments when your perspective on housework you once found burdensome changed, or experiences where you were helped by family or services, through a collaboration contest between Tsukrio/ Antway and note titled "#MyAllyInHousework".
Please share your stories about the "allies"—such as family members or tools—that support you and your housework, or episodes where your "perspective" on housework shifted.

A message from our sponsoring company
Thinking about menus, cleaning up... Behind the scenes of what is generally recognized as housework, such as cooking and cleaning, there are many small, invisible tasks hidden away. Even if you perform these 'hidden chores' every single day, they often go unnoticed by those around you, and it's easy to end up carrying the burden alone, which can lead to stress.
We at 'Tsukrio' aim to create a society where everyone can take on new opportunities by freeing you from these household obligations through our home-cooked meal delivery service. Our brand name embodies our desire to 'create' (tsukuru) health and richness within the home through home-cooked meals, and to expand the possibilities of what you can 'create' (tsukuru) with the free time that results.
We hope this contest will shine a light on the 'hidden efforts' in your daily life and serve as a catalyst for taking a positive step forward. We look forward to receiving your wonderful stories.
We look forward to your submissions!
