The Projects

KIMONO FUKU

Kimono with the aesthetic sense of this country. We are developing "Kimonofuku" focusing on kimono remakes that incorporate modern sensibilities into such kimonos.

ONLINE STORE

Based on the concept of "a new appearance of Japanese style," a store that sells products that combine creative traditions and clothing of Japanese designers' brands is available at old private houses.

TSURUTO

=　つると（鶴渡）

The crane flies over the sky, and Japanese culture flies to the world.

We named it "Tsuruto" with the concept of crossing the sea.

A crane that has long been loved as a symbol of Japan,

It is also a symbol that is rooted in Japanese culture.

As there are many paintings, symbols, songs and products related to cranes,

Its beautiful appearance and appearance have attracted many Japanese people.

As a crane flies over the sea,

Disseminating wonderful products with Japanese culture, spirit and technology to the world,

We aim to be a project to deliver to many people.

Ohkata Tomoko

Born in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, raised in Hachinohe City, and spent a gap year in New Zealand. Immediately after returning to Japan in 2018, he met TSURUTO and engaged in creative work. He is involved in all artwork, including art direction, photography, and copywriting.

After volunteering in India and Germany, worked at an international youth environmental NGO. With the aim of creating a social business, we started accessory brands based on the concept of "reduce" in 2008 and worked on manufacturing with "reuse x welfare work facilities x local women x charity". In 2012, the encounter with a large number of discarded kimonos and interest in Japanese culture, which was brought up close to nature, increased, and in 2015, TSURUTO started. In 2018, we opened a directly managed store in an old private house in Koshigaya, Saitama Prefecture. In 2019, online store operation started.
