Suggestion of Peaceful and Relaxing Interior Space

Another mission, besides the study of the traditional temples and shrines, is to suggest the peaceful and relaxing interior space coordination.
Japanese economy kept prospering for 50 years after the War. Now it’s 21st century, the economy is in chaos, men and women of all ages are restless, and the society itself is falling ill. People are eager for peace-of-mind and healing their soul more than ever.
We are happy to suggest such space coordination all together on request.

You can afford Domestic Materials with the Current Budget!

In late years it tends to rely on the imported materials because of the extreme dificulty to secure sizable domestic ones for temples and shrines construction. However, temples and shrines are Japanese precious property of spirit to hand down. It is obvious Japanese domestic materials are the most suitable for Japanese climate.
Would you say, “I wish I could afford it…”? If so, please get in contact with us before you completely abandon it. We are always happy to be of service to you.
