From highly skilled traditional craftsmanship to industrial manufacturing approaches, we seek to re-define the new standards of “Made-in-Japan”. In a world filled with material things, perhaps it is the immaterial qualities that governs what, why and how we consume. What are our roles as Japanese makers in the pursuit to create the vision of a circular economy? Kyoji is neither a store, nor a collection of goods. We are a collective of Japanese makers, pulled together with a common set of values - to create a new vision of our world, a world beyond the material. This is our mission. To change the way we make. Kyoji「矜持」is a Japanese term which refers to the phrase “to carry with pride and self-respect, in a humble manner”. While we seek to ignite change, we hope to hold on to the core values which brings us together.
