We believe that we came across the sea and are able to live the lives we do thanks to our ancestors, who endured hardships and struggled to create a stable place to live. Through their great hardships, one thing never faltered; their pride towards Japanese heritage and culture. Japan’s history has produced a truly rich and unique culture, which is the continuous source of our pride. This feeling has been passed down from our forefathers to our parents, from parents to children, and from children to grandchildren. Although we live across the sea, far away from Japan, , we still cherish this feeling. This society was built with the goal of passing down the fundamental principle of ‘kokoro’, which means ‘heart’ or ‘spirit’ and runs through all Japanese traditions, to future generations. While feeling grateful to our predecessors and ancestors, we wish in turn to instill our feelings in the next generation… This is the work we hope to do.
