COOL – A Culture
“COOL” is a rather symbolic word for Japan. “Cool Japan” was a strategy developed to make Japanese culture trendy and to cultivate its soft power. It had effectively helped Japan to re-establish its position, presence and influence worldwide.“Cool Japan”, similar to “Korean wave”, singlehandedly created unique slangs, branding and marketed this “Cool” culture to the rest of the world and successfully influenced the tourism economy of the 21st century.
TOOL – A Philosophy
“TOOL” was inspired by a combination “Cool Japan” and the superior quality derived from the unrelenting persistence of Japanese craftsmanship.Even as today’s technological advancements brings unprecedented accessibility, “TOOL” reminds us to stay true to high quality and taste.
