Japan is home to the world's oldest company, with a history stretching from the year 578 to the present day. This remarkable company, known as Kongo Gumi, was responsible for constructing Japan's first Buddhist temple. Even today, they specialize in wooden structures, handling construction, restoration, and repair of shrines, temples, castles, and cultural heritage sites. While making use of modern technology, they strive to preserve ancient methods. A traditional company with a history of over a millennium, they’ve even been recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Japan boasts more than ten companies with histories of over a thousand years, steadfastly supporting Japanese tradition. They have been instrumental in preserving transitional culture, customs, landscape, entertainment, and manufacturing, passing them down to the present day. However, companies that preserve history and tradition do not always have a presence in the modern world.

Our company shares the distinctiveness of Japan with the world through the production of TV programs and video content. Through this, we have come to see that, as Japanese ourselves, we were often unaware, whether by accident or intention, of the quintessentially Japanese spirit that has existed since ancient times. We have made it our goal to reexamine Japan, to rediscover “Unfamiliar Japan.” Japan is an unfamiliar country that, while incorporating the cultures and customs of other nations, preserves a profound tradition. We see it as our mission to rekindle the spirit of “Prosperity Japan”
