As one of the commemorative projects, “United Arrows” has planned and produced special limited edition goods. This collaboration came about because we both resonated with each other’s basic stance of valuing innovation and the inheritance of traditional Japanese culture, and also because we were to become “neighbors” who will be based in the same office building (* ).
