Revival of hemp culture
12,000 years ago, people in Japan cultivated hemp earlier than rice cultivation.
Hemp is a plant that has a strong vitality and does not require fertilizers or pesticides.
It grew in 2-3 months on lean land and at least a little water, and was deeply rooted in people's lives.
From the Heian period to the Kamakura period, the "hemp leaf pattern", which can be said to be a symbol of hemp, was born.
This pattern has become a symbol that conveys the length and importance of the history of hemp.
However, as time passes and we reach the present day, the value of hemp as a material and its culture is often overlooked due to the rapid changes in modern society.
On the other hand, if we look at the world, hemp is an ecological, sustainable, and functional natural material that is useful as a building material, fuel, clothing, medicine, and superfood.
As Japan, when we remember the wonderful properties of hemp and its rich history, we are keenly aware of the need to reevaluate and rediscover it.
We launched this brand with the aim of reviving hemp culture in a world-class way as a bridge to the future while respecting the past.
