In a devotion of Japanese culture,
Matohu design is a fusion of gentle afterglow and subtle beauty. Matohu teaches and leads us in awareness of wrapping your body softly and a restraint of an allowing oneself mature.
“Our background, our language, our history may be different, but we can all talk together with the same excitement about same topics. We have started to slip through the present idea of nation to connect ourselves to a shared horizon. And this goes even further. There’s no way we will be able to stop these new paths to develop, may they be good, may they be bad.
On one hand, this is amazing, but on the other hand it carries a risk; the risk of a dulled, standardized, uniform culture. As complex and diverse information may be, it homogenizes ways of thinking. Same values, shared words, similar discourse, a global village without history. What is lost here? Which should be the peculiar characteristics to be underlined in such a time?
The answer would be the rich cultural legacy that people spent time nurturing and the perception of beauty that gave birth to it.hese are not things that I have built today or the day before, neither things that we can share in the few seconds of a Youtube clip. These are rather a background so familiar that we cannot see it anymore and values that slowly disappear precisely because they are too close to us. The fact that we live in an age of rapid globalization led us to realize that true perception of local peculiarities can give us strength. While we understand the synchronicity and the unstoppable nature of information today, we would like to grasp the essence of our inherent and immovable sense of beauty.”
