About Yamanami Kobo:
Each person who attends Yamanami Kobo says, “Doing this makes me happy.” I am happy by doing this.
When you take a look at a “day in the life” at Yamanami Kobo, you will find that each person expresses his or her “special self” in his or her own way every day.
Some like to make something with clay, some like to draw, some like to sing or embroider, some like to talk, some like to be alone and quiet, some like to move around energetically, some like to stay still, and some like and are good at many other things.
However, in today’s society, it is difficult for many of these expressions to be paid for, and it is not uncommon for the value of the act itself and its essence to be lost.
To know each other’s differences.
To respect the values of each.
Let’s paint it the way we want to paint it.
Let’s make what we want to make.
Let’s live your life as you are.

What a joy it would be to be able to freely move toward one’s potential in a place where one’s true self is recognized and allowed to exist.
My colors, my shape, born in my daily life spent in my own way.
At Yamanami Kobo, we cherish the essence of each individual through various expressions, consider what sensitivity is and what richness is, and aim to expand each person’s potential and HAPPY infinitely.
