BE A TRUE JAPANESE.
日本人に返り咲く為に We are not merely a brand—it is a movement
to preserve what matters.

BACKGROUND 我々の物語

Two young men from Kyoto, brought together in Uji at 16, captivated by the city’s timeless traditions.

We revive the enduring legacy of Nishijin-ori, a craft woven for over 1,000 years, and matcha, a ritual that has shaped Japan for over 800 years. By reimagining these traditions, we bring them into the modern era—not as relics of the past, but as essentials for contemporary life.

HISTORY 我々の歴史

01
幽玄の始まり | 1704~
A Legacy Rooted in Kyoto
Since 宝永元年 (1704, Hōei Gannen), our tea farm has quietly safeguarded Kyoto’s tea culture, supplying matcha to the 公家 (kuge, aristocracy). Nestled in Uji’s misty hills, we cultivated tea not just as a drink, but as a ritual of mindfulness—a practice of 余白 (yohaku, the art of leaving space) in a fast-changing world.
Yet, as society sped up, the slow, intentional rhythm of tea culture began to fade, and our once-symbolic farm faced an uncertain fate.
02
運命の変遷 | 1950~2000s
The Displacement of Tradition
Japan’s high economic growth reshaped success. The stability of corporate life replaced the uncertainties of farming, and fewer families remained in agriculture. Over time, our fields shrank, and the knowledge passed down for centuries faded.
By the 2000s, the necessity of survival in a modern economy led to the sale of farmland, mountains, and treasured antiques, fragmenting a legacy once carefully preserved. The craft of matcha, once integral to Japanese life, was becoming a relic of the past.
03
再生の決意 | 2022~
A Revival for the Future
Years abroad revealed a harsh truth—low-quality matcha, falsely labeled as “Japanese” or “Ceremonial Grade,” flooded the market, misleading consumers and diminishing its true value as a craft and mindfulness practice. At the same time, in cities like Silicon Valley, New York, and Tokyo, modern life left people disconnected, trapped in a cycle of exhaustion with little space for clarity and presence.
To restore authenticity, we returned to Kyoto—not just to bring back true Uji-grown matcha, but to redefine it as a modern wellness tool. More than a drink, matcha is a ritual of stillness, intention, and renewal.

MISSION 我々の使命

Reviving Japanese Aesthetics and Spirit Through Matcha Living.

VISION

Preserving Japanese Pride for Future Generations.

As Westernization erodes Japan’s identity, we preserve Kyoto’s thousand-year heritage of tea and textiles, sharing its true beauty with the world.
