To begin with, the Japanese archipelago is prone to earthquakes, typhoons, and other disasters. A system was needed to overcome these disasters and make the most of limited resources.

And the culture of life has become more portable so that we can take it with us when we need it.

In response to the portability and changes in lifestyle and culture, the ingenuity to cut out small pieces and put them together was born.

A culture like “Ba(Place)” or “Za(Seats)” was nurtured as a cultural device to play with small cutouts and combinations.

Having never experienced invasion, Japan learned from the outside and developed its own culture within.

The Japanese, who live with nature through the changing seasons, have sharpened their senses to the minute changes.
