HISTORY
It was the fall of 2015 that I started to take on new challenges.
I suddenly thought when I was talking with a friend of a craftsman.
What is the mission of human beings who make things? What is rewarding? What is the purpose?
A craftsman with "technique" and an artist with "expression". What if we, who live as professionals, play with each other with that ability? The perspective and technology of the creators. We are trying to reconstruct the elements left behind in the past and create the next generation of "Aji (taste)" and "Iki (chic)".
