culture
The word culture comes from the Latin cultus, meaning care. We build a company culture in which our team members care for one another. We are inspired by Nordic cultures that build businesses with high added value, avoid overtime and value life and learning beyond the workplace.

Our office in Nishi-Ogikubo, Tokyo, was designed by architect Wataru Iwama. As a rule, we work in the office three days a week, using digital tools to move seamlessly between remote and office work and choose the most productive way to work.

To help ease the tension that desk work creates in the mind and body, we cover the full cost of a massage up to once a month.
