An encounter between the serenity of Japan and the splendor of the West
Fire and wind work together and competitive. Here comes nature's greatness.
The tranquilizing mood and strong presence of TOH. Come relish the babbling of water.
The essence of form. The life in it.
There are many different elements in the form of Japan, reflecting various emotions, temperaments and senses of beauty, polished by the climate and the four seasons: Each of them is the heart of a form,the life of a form. After many, many years, the forms of Japan still live on.
Feel the echo within to the tranquilizing murmur of water.
In everyday life as well as in the world of beauty, the Japanese have always prized the sound of water. They have also invented various tools to enjoy the sound of water. The gentle murmuring of a stream eased the mind, and the passing of time was seen superimposed on the flowing water.
"Material" and "Mind" - The sagacity of Japanese culture
There is a state where you freely change your mind according to the movements of nature, and respond to the sound of the wind. This subtle Japanese sense of beauty is called sabi. Sabi together with mu (nothingness) became a style. Mountains are mountains. Flowers are flowers. By accepting the obvious as obvious, the mind became one with the object. The word sabi also means rusted iron.
Search the beauty and warmth lost.
Japan had lost the refined taste of the Orient. And certainly, it was precisely because they were born in the light of candles that the luster of lacquer was meaningful, that the glitter of gold was meaningful. They would have risen from obscurity in that space, just like dreams.
The regeneration of Japanese sentiment
The influence of this Japanese artistic method can be seen in modern conceptual art and installations as well. However, if the viewer does not posses an equivalent imagination, this kind of culture wastes away.

Toh is a blessing of Mother Nature. It is born from the earth. The warmth of the soil and the sharpness of stainless steel have been transformed into the elegant simplicity of a modern Japanese style. This design of mine is inspired by the hope that Japanese serenity and Western splendor will be admired throughout all time.
Born in Osaka, Japan in 1967. Learned various facts of the restaurant business in experiences at club or restaurant kitchen. Those experiences become a big part of who he is today. After years as freelance, spent several years in Imagine, Inc.,as a chief designer. In June 2000, reformed it to be GLAMOROUS CO., LTD. Morita acts as a creative director in the design unit of his associated members, "ERO ERO", who extend their creation beyond the space design, for instance, to the graphic or product design.
