There is an old saying from the teachings of Zen Buddhism; (Ichigu Wo Terasu) meaning to shine light upon one corner of a dim room. To brighten one part of the world through the kindheartedness of people. Our family, friends, neighbors and loved ones. With that concept at heart, our purpose is to bring attention to and shine light upon one corner of traditional craftsmanship in Kyoto using the resources of Kimono and Japanese art at hand. We do not just make lighting fixtures, but bring warmth to the hearts of people.
When we shine light upon valuable traditional craftsmanship such as ink and wash paintings, Japanese artwork to Kyo-yuzen Kimono, Japanese paper, and calligraphy… (Ichigu Wo Terasu) (Shine light upon one corner) seemed most appropriate. Not an abundance of sparks nor a vivid flash, but one small glow set in a subtle darkness will touch one’s soul regardless of eastern or western backgrounds.

Japanese Art

From its origin, defines "a technique of beauty" Most often expressed through Japan’s dynamic four seasons.
As for the art of calligraphy and wash paintings,The light that shines upon the simplicity of the inks message will express the essence of Japanese art through a warm illumination of beauty.
