OUR APPROACH
Showcasing the Japanese art, science and craft of making things
Monozukuri is a Japanese concept which is defined as "the art, science and craft of making things". It originates from Japan's traditional culture of craftsmanship, and incorporates the spirit to produce excellence, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
WAZA showcases monozukuri in our business approach. We strive for a (s)low consumption business model, where our product selection criteria comprises:
Made in, or inspired by Japan;
Innovative design;
Quality craftsmanship;
Aesthetic appeal, and
Durability for long time use
