Society, Earth, and Body Friendly Kogin Sashimi
We sell organic kogin stitch threads and fashion items made from surplus stock with kogin stitching.

Commitment to our products
We purchase surplus stock that would otherwise be sold at outlet or off-price stores, use herb-dyed threads, and apply the Tsugaru kogin stitch pattern to them, and sell them as new items.

We use kogin-sashi to rescue clothes that were never worn by anyone and never even lined up on store shelves. We also aim to create environmentally and socially friendly products by using organic materials for new production.

The [buøy] series takes discarded marine debris and transforms it into beautiful new artifacts that will be treasured for a long time to come.

Commitment to Products

We are volunteer members of Technolab Inc., a manufacturer that designs and mass-produces plastic products.
We started developing products using marine debris through our Plas+tech project, a research and development project that has been conducted in conjunction with our main business of developing IoT devices, medical equipment, and other products that cannot be made without plastic. What is the appeal of plastic materials? How should we deal with plastics, which have become a hot topic due to environmental issues? In the course of such exploratory activities, we developed a technology to manufacture plastic not as a mass-produced material, but as a one-of-a-kind craft product.

Through the crowdfunding campaign held in November 2019, we were able to connect with many people who are working to solve the marine plastic problem. We have re-launched as reBirth, buøy, in order to improve our products to resonate with more people in the future.

Enrich your mind with fragrance.

We bring you the ancient Japanese aroma of harmony.

Commitment to our products:

• We deliver scents crafted from natural fragrance ingredients.

Kyo ROUSOKU+ is a 100% vegetable-based Japanese candle that enhances daily life, brings peace of mind, and offers spiritual healing.

This brand is a collaboration between Chanois and Nakamura Candles, a long-established candle maker in Kyoto.

1. The most attractive feature of Kyo ROUSOKU+ candles is that they are genuine Japanese candles made from 100% vegetable materials such as sumac wax, and craftsmen meticulously create each candle one by one using wooden molds.

2. Pigments and natural essential oils used to color the candles are all derived from Kyoto. Kyo ROUSOKU+ is also particular about the brand identity, Kyoto.

3. The sophisticated packaging with nuanced colors makes Kyo ROUSOKU+ a Japanese candle brand perfect for gifts and small presents.

Commitment to Our Products:
Expressing the new plus of Japanese candles.
Time Candles Fascinated by the wonderful values and technical skills of Japanese candle culture, we began planning and developing candles that "design time = time management," inspired by the technology and know-how of making candles according to the specified time by adjusting the thickness and length of the candle.

After repeated trial and error, we finally designed a candle that can be used in easy-to-use time units of 5, 10, and 20 minutes and completed it as the "Time Candles for Time" result.

"Fragrance Candle" is made of 100% natural ingredients, with seasonal Japanese fragrances and colors.
Following the development of "Hour Candles," we worked on the development of "safe and secure aroma candles (scented candles) made of 100% natural ingredients, original to Japan.

The fragrance for the Japanese candles, which are made from 100% vegetable materials, is also made from natural ingredients. The natural essential oil gives you a delicate and gentle aroma that is uniquely Japanese. We had an encounter with Ms. Tomoko Saito, an aroma producer from Kyoto, and developed natural essential oils that were originally mixed by her.

The natural essential oils we use are highly volatile, so the fragrance gradually fades after about two weeks. For this reason, we have taken measures to minimize the volatilization of the fragrance by wrapping each candle individually and using hermetically sealed packages.

The high volatility of the fragrance is proof that we use genuine natural essential oil fragrances. The concept of the candle was born from the luxury of enjoying the fresh fragrance for a limited time, just as you would enjoy the taste of fresh flowers or freshly picked fruit.
