East Japan Project / EJP Products The East Japan Project was initiated by architect Kengo Kuma to support the reconstruction of the Tohoku region. This initiative brings together various companies and designers, transcending organizational boundaries to collaborate with traditional craftsmen from Eastern Japan. The aim is to propose everyday items that promote an ecological and sustainable lifestyle, integrating traditional craftsmanship with modern needs. Message from Kengo Kuma “We propose a 'new way of living.' This 'new way of living' is rooted in a specific place. A place encompasses all aspects of its climate, culture, industries, and people, forming a natural and harmonious system. However, the efficiency and convenience-driven urban-centric society of the 20th century eroded this system. People favored standardized products, relegating place-derived items to the category of 'traditional crafts,' causing them to lose their vitality. The events of 3.11 highlighted this reality for us. The 'new way of living' seeks to reverse the 20th-century trend of losing touch with places. We aim to propose products for this 'new way of living' in collaboration with Eastern Japan's craftsmen. These are not extraordinary or exclusive traditional crafts but 'new everyday items' for ordinary use in daily life. These tools enable everyone to live in harmony with their place, participating in the larger cycle of their environment.” ShippingWe always send the item with a tracking number.
