Our thoughts

The Japanese islands, with nearly 70% of its land area covered by forests, has cultivated the foundations of Japanese culture by benefiting from the richness of nature and the four seasons.
In the past, the Japanese were agricultural people, valued "harmony" and possessed a sensitivity (aesthetic sense) that respected others and valued courtesy, even if it meant putting one's own needs on the back burner. It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of honest consideration for others and sincere approach to things is the underlying force behind leading cultural trends in the world, including manufacturing.
In addition, it is not uncommon for subcultures such as video games and animation, which are not limited to traditional culture, to have an impact on the world beyond the boundaries of Asia as Japanese content. We believe that such ideas, spirituality, and consideration for others are very important elements for us human beings in today's technologically advanced world.

We hope that by feeling the heart of the Japanese people and experiencing Japan, we can serve as a stepping stone to realize a sustainable society in which people living today can cooperate with each other across borders.
