Companies, too, have things they should pass on.
Philosophy, history, aspirations, and stories.
However, simply protecting the future won't get us there.
We visualize the "succession" and "evolution" of companies in the form of modern ukiyo-e prints.
Transforming history that deserves to be preserved into beauty that will resonate with the next generation.
The inheritance and evolution of Ukiyo-e.
Let's not let it end as just art.
Up to brand strategy
Designing Ukiyo-e prints.
Ukiyo-e LLC is
We are a branding and design company that focuses on Japanese culture.
From a single ukiyo-e print,
• Product packaging • Spatial design • Visuals for overseas expansion • Digital content • Video/animation
We design everything from start to finish.
Not "Japanese style"
"Authentic cultural value" as a strategy.
Why "Ukiyo-e" now?
What Japanese brands are sought after in the global market is not "function," but "story."
Ukiyo-e is Japan's greatest visual culture, which astonished the world during the Edo period.
We will redefine it for the modern era.
Not a reproduction, but an evolution.
Katsushika Hokusai,
Depicting global technology and moments of the times,
It revolutionized composition and expression.
Kitagawa Utamaro,
By depicting an unnamed town girl,
They shed light on popular culture and invigorated the era.
Ukiyo-e is,
It was a medium that reflected the times .
The modern ukiyo-e I aim for is not a reboot of the past.
A completely original work that reflects the history of "the present."
Corporate evolution,
The inherited ideals,
The moment of challenge.
These are new ukiyo-e prints intended to preserve those traditions for future generations.
