Experience the Joy of Creating with Eco-Friendly Materials

We started our business focusing on OEM operations related to electronic toys at the time of our establishment. Concurrently, we embarked on developing and selling the wa-gu-mi series, a craft art collection crafted from environmentally conscious natural materials such as wood, paper, and bamboo.

In addition to actively embracing SDGs, our mission is to bring the joy of creating and the satisfaction of completion to people worldwide through the experience of working with natural materials. Over the years, our expertise in design has enabled us to create assembly-friendly and durable structures, resulting in high-quality finished products. This has garnered us trust and numerous domestic and international intellectual property rights.

Boosting Brain Power. Preventing Cognitive Decline.

Boosting Brain Power. Preventing Cognitive Decline.

Our product is easily assembled, making it suitable for use in various settings, including nursing homes and care facilities.

In collaboration with Professor Nakagawa from Nagaoka University of Technology, we conducted assembly tests of our product in care facilities. Using EEG (electroencephalography) to assess the impact of our product on brain activity, we found that assembling our product has a positive effect on brain activation.

This effect is attributed to the shift from two-dimensional to three-dimensional visual information during assembly and the tactile stimulation of the fingers during the assembly process.
