junhashimoto Philosophy

The true essence of our country’s culture lies in the harmonious
coexistence between that which is known as ambivalent in the West.
For example:
”Strictness” and “Kindness.”
”Stubbornness” and “Flexibility”.
”That which changes” and “That which does not.”
Yes, herein truly lies that ever so fleeting Japanese elegance.
It may be called a unique aesthetic sensibility.
The spirit of「junhashimoto」is inseparably connected with this.
