To Those Who Would Work With Us

Join Our Team

Hideki Sato
Hideki Sato佐藤英樹 — Manager
What defines us is being surrounded by beautiful spaces and a refined aesthetic sensibility. Immersed in the stillness unique to Oku-Kamakura — the crisp, composed air woven by tea rooms and old folk houses — the mind and body grow clear, and each day awakens the senses.
I myself came to art and the way of tea as a beginner. Yet there is a joy that only a foray into the unknown can reveal, and our workplace overflows with the pleasure of sharing those discoveries with colleagues. Meeting artists and business leaders of all kinds, we also learn to question preconceptions and to practise a higher quality of communication.
We sincerely look forward to meeting those who would weave a brighter future together with us.
