Message

Improving skills is a given, creating beautiful things is a matter of course. In today's world, "diversity" is emphasized, and the awareness to see things from various angles has increased. However, the foundation lies in the accumulation of human effort and thoughts. My family has inherited skills since 1883. Not only have we continued for a long time, but we have also embraced challenges. I take pride in our traditional crafts, aspirations, and passion, aiming to defend, innovate, and create a new future.
