Takasho Announces Japanese Space Brand 'KUON' for Accommodation, Tourism, and Food & Beverage Facilities

Takasho Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Nobuo Takaoka; TSE Standard: 7590), a garden lifestyle manufacturer, announces the launch of 'KUON', a Japanese-style space brand for non-residential sectors including accommodation, tourism, and food and beverage facilities.

Against the backdrop of growing inbound demand, hotels, inns, and restaurants are increasingly interested in creating spaces that evoke a sense of Japaneseness and are chosen by users. Creating a cohesive Japanese worldview from the exterior to the interior of a facility is becoming important for enhancing spatial value.

'KUON' is a Japanese-style space brand that carefully selects colors, patterns, and materials suitable for creating high-quality Japanese spaces from the company's product lineup, proposing a unified integration of interior and exterior, architecture and garden. It expresses the delicate expressions of natural bamboo and wood, as well as dignified colors and patterns that seem to have aged over time, using modern materials to bring a cohesive Japanese worldview to the entire facility. This Japanese-style space proposal will be first unveiled at the company's own exhibition, 'Takasho Garden & Exterior Fair 2026 (TGEF2026)', held in July 2026.

◆ About the Japanese Space Brand 'KUON'

'KUON' is a Japanese-style space brand that proposes Japanese garden spaces and designs, which are gaining global interest, for modern facilities. It proposes products from Takasho's lineup suitable for creating high-quality Japanese spaces, including the bamboo fence-style board 'EverBamboo(R)' that reproduces the look of natural bamboo fences, 'EverArtWood(R)' that realistically expresses the texture of wood, and 'EverArtBoard(R)' that can be used for wall surfaces and spatial design with various designs.

The word 'KUON' originates from a Buddhist term meaning distant past or future, or something that continues eternally and unchangingly. This word, expressing an endless continuation of time or state, embodies the intention to inherit the unchanging Japanese aesthetic sense and the value of long-loved Japanese spaces into the modern era.

By combining products according to outdoor and indoor spaces and applications, it brings a cohesive Japanese expression to the entire facility. Utilizing bamboo and wood patterns that harmonize with Japanese spaces, as well as dignified colors and patterns that seem to have aged, it proposes a high-quality Japanese worldview that allows one to feel the depth of material expressions and patterns, not just mere Japanese-style decoration.

◆ Suitable for New Construction and Renovation of Accommodation, Tourism, and Food & Beverage Facilities

'KUON' can be used for creating a Japanese worldview throughout a facility, from shaping the exterior impression to designing the stay experience, in new construction and renovation of accommodation, tourism, and food & beverage facilities.

In hotels and inns, it can be applied to entrances, guest rooms, open-air bath areas, and lounges. In restaurants, incorporating it into facades, private rooms, terraces, and wall designs leads to creating memorable spaces for visitors.

Furthermore, it can be deployed in hot spring facilities, tourist facilities, villas, common areas of condominiums, and luxury homes. By incorporating Japanese taste in a modern way according to the purpose and atmosphere of the space, it enhances spatial value from both the first impression and the stay experience.
