KOGEI STANDARD is an online media platform dedicated to introducing the current stage of Japanese crafts to the world.
Japanese crafts reflects the natural features of an area and the disposition of the people living there and their creation of unique beauty which are in harmony with nature.
To learn about crafts is also to connect with the feelings of the craftspeople and to bring back the universal beauty throughout the eras.
We believe that such feelings will raise important awareness for the future society and we will pass Japanese crafts to the world.
Believing in the possibilities of Japanese crafts, we have three things we want to realize:
Reflecting on the roots of the crafts and the charm of the craftspeople, we will contribute to improve the international value of Japanese crafts.
We will pursue the timeless beauty that crafts create and transmit it to the world.
We will contribute to the realization of a peaceful and cultural life by sharing the affection for nature and things.
