Our Vision

Japanese culture, remade for the world.

A woman beside a pink daruma with Tokyo Tower behind her — the world of GAL
A woman by the water beside a blue-and-gold daruma — the world of KANAGI
A woman smiling in a lantern-lit alley beside a black-and-red daruma — the world of NIGIWAI

Culture is not
preserved by
standing still.

Our Mission

We translate inherited craft and aesthetics into value for the present.

We build the markets that let Japan's culture carry forward to the next generation.

Where we stand now

Daruma,
for the world.

Daruma is the first cultural icon we chose to work with. Translating its form, its ritual and its craftsmanship into value for the modern market is where YUTORIA is focused today.

More about daruma

Business

The Makers

Made one at a time,
by hand.

Not making the same object twice, but carrying forward the same value. Each daruma is painted by hand, curve by curve — the subtle variation between pieces is exactly what a machine print cannot give you.

Journal

Get to know daruma.

Visiting the workshops, listening to the makers, recording daruma as it lives today. Daruma Times is our dedicated media opening up Japanese culture through daruma.

About

Daruma is only
our first work.

In the longer term, we're building a hub for Japanese culture — translating the essential value of tradition into contemporary language and experience, and implementing a system where the culture industry can sustain itself.
