About Musuhi
We collaborate with artists involved in a variety of art forms, and at each event we create a sympathetic relationship through the collaboration of the individual artists who come together, imagining and creating new activities.
What can we do when artists who have gained experience and worked individually come together?
Until now I have been engaged in artistic activities as an individual, but I thought it would be interesting to work with artists from various fields to use our abilities in the right place and share joy and fun experiences with people, so I decided to work with artists who agree with me.
I feel that exhibitions and events can create even more joy by sending out the message that "a piece of art is completed by utilizing the individuality of each artist."
By connecting various artists, we will not only be able to enhance each other's abilities and influence each other, but also influence the customers who gather there, and become one piece of art, so we will start activities like this.
Details of establishment
We will organize art events all over Japan, building ties with local people, and work to create connections not only in Japan but all over the world, creating a large circle.
Concept
Our Philosophy
The word "musubu" has various meanings other than "to tie something like a string," such as "to connect," "to create," and "to tighten," and is also used to mean connecting connections or hearts, such as "to form relationships with people" or "to make a promise."
The roots of the word "musubi" go back to ancient Japanese mythology, where it is said to be the "birth spirit" (Musuhi or Musubi). "Musuhi" means "to give birth" and "Hi" means "the mysterious workings of the mind." In general, Musuhi is interpreted as "the power of thoughts is born by tying together."
In ancient Japan, it was believed that even the knots of things had souls. It seems that our ancestors lived with kind hearts in harmony with all things.
"Musuhi" is the quintessence that connects "things" to create new things; it connects various things together and gives birth to life and vitality.
This spirit is also connected to Japan's "respect for manufacturing" and is reflected in the development of the country's industrial technology.
Furthermore, "living with gratitude for all 'musubi'" embodies our ancestors' "spirit of respecting harmony with all things."
As people born in this country, it is our wish to continue the spirit of musuhi, which has been passed down since the time of ancient mythology, to connect people one by one through art in a joyful and warm-hearted way.

We would like to introduce our sponsors.
