Hitotoki
I believe design is about sowing the seeds of life and creating environments where they can take root and grow.
These seeds give form to the way we live, responding to nature, the spirit of the times, and the human heart.
Design also plants seeds for future generations, like cultivating trees and living alongside their growth.
In Japanese, hitotoki means “a moment” and can be read poetically as “person and tree,” expressing the cycle of people, nature, and time.
