About

"Add space to your life."

We are inspired by traditional Japanese culture and philosophy, and work with artisans to produce "things that add space to your life."

We interpret punctuation, which is also the brand name, as having the role of creating rhythm, breathing, and space in a sentence.

The concept is "white space."

In today's busy society, creating space in your life seems easy but is actually quite difficult.

Still, I think taking a little break and taking a breather is important in people's lives.

Just as punctuation marks create space in a sentence, QUTOTEN. wants to be a supporting character that creates space in your life.

I think so.

Punctuation creates rhythm.
Space in life, a break, and breathing.

As mentioned at the beginning, we create our products inspired by traditional Japanese culture and philosophy.

When we think of tradition, we may have the image of it being something old.
However, we define tradition as something new.

This is because the techniques and know-how that have been passed down as traditions are the result of always grasping the needs of the times and flexibly changing form.

"Tradition is always new."

From the challenges we face, new things are born, including new technology and know-how.
If you try something new, you will fail, and new things will sometimes be criticized.

Still, I want to stay connected to the tradition.

With this in mind, we create our products based on the following six philosophies.

.

1. Be natural.
D. It is beautiful and functional.
3. Blend in, don't stand out.
4. Don't tell them everything, leave it up to the listener.
5. Embrace waste.
6. First of all, enjoy yourself.
