CONSULTANCY

Our consultancy services two main purposes. To audit for cultural and ecological responsibility. And to support the creation of products, places, and programs that are rooted in rich and verifiable storytelling.

SErVICES

Consultancy services leverage our daily field research across the Japanese archipelago. We have a materials first approach. Materials are the gateway to storytelling. One that connects the dots between raw natural resources and traditional technique. This means that we can ensure both culturally and ecologically responsible storytelling for products, places, and programs, that are seamless and responsive to your brand. Because it will always be rooted in our fieldwork.

We work exclusively with creators. Hands-on professionals who create places and spaces, operate food and beverage services, design clothing and fragrances, develop visual and auditory experiences, and build architectural structures and home furnishings.

Fact Checking

We audit your copy, approach, branding, designs, and products, for cultural nuances, and historical and socio-political context, transforming your ideas into rich, verifiable storytelling.

Materials Sourcing

We source raw materials as well as heritage materials, both found and original, to be leveraged toward your creation.

Talent Recruitment

We support your R&D phase by identifying the appropriate talent from our collective of craftspeople to ensure thoughtful, bona fide outcomes.
