        CONCEPT

        Toward Beyond Zero

        “SUPER ZERO Lab” shows the beauty and value of
        Japanese traditions to the world while striving to create
        innovation for the future in a salon style lab store.

        Here, we introduce the artistry and craft from
        Japan’s long tradition and wisdom,
        to become a source of inspiration for innovation towards the future.

        As a store, lab, and event space,
        we aim to fuse the essence of Japan’s mazenbi,
        the concept of true beauty and goodness,
        with a multicultural perspective.
        We encourage visitors to engage with the space,
        and help foster the emergence of new businesses
        and their successors.

        By encouraging diversity,
        we hope to create opportunities that pave the way for
        the future of Japanese manufacturing regions
        and artisans as well as the world.
