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, objects accumulate a certain flavor and reflect a way of life.

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.
