Concept
Nature had a stronger presence in everyday life in olden Japan.
Gazing on natural scenery, sensing the wind and listening well to birds and insects, our ancestors experienced the changing seasons with all their senses and fell into dialogue with the mysterious source of life.
We endeavor to create content that re-enables that close dialogue with nature, so much at the heart of Japanese culture, in contemporary life.
Drawn into the changing world of light, water and wind, you will become one with nature’s rhythms. An excursion into the quietude of your inner cosmos will begin.

Concept
In Japan, nature changes dramatically with the seasons, at times creating landscapes awesome and mysterious, beyond human imagining.
Videos of nature’s ephemeral beauty may induce thoughts of impermanence.
Yet, when we gaze comprehensively on the cycle of the seasons, we sense a larger unseen realm of nature.
An unchanging world of harmony at the heart of impermanence.

Concept
Television screen quality has made great strides these 50 years —from analogue to Hi-vision and from 4K to 8K resolution. High resolution images now display the video’s subject with surprising reality.
Still, the greater the reality, the less room for the play of your imagination.
To bring back those pliant margins necessary to your journey, we have intentionally regressed.
Dusting off natural landscapes of the ‘80s and ‘90s recorded by analogue broadcast standards, we have restored them using the latest image processing.
These nostalgic natural landscapes of the past, no longer existing, have been resurrected as rare and precious content in the Internet age.
Nostalgia for a lost world leads us into the heart and mind.
