Since ancient times, people have created and inherited necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture.
Over a long period of use, they accumulate a flavor and reflect a way of life.
The harsher the natural environment and the weaker human beings are, the stronger their power becomes.
In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating things around us by modifying them opens up a new world.
With this philosophy in mind, we carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques.
