The Tohoku region has retained its “Mono-Zukuri” tradition or, simply put, Traditional Crafting Orientation, that was developed in its harsh environment and has been carried on to the present day. Behind it are people who have been evolving and passing down ingenuity, wisdom, and thought by deepening their traditional technologies. THE TOHOKU STANDARD stands for A View Point from which to look at “their Way of Living.” It has been rooted, and well-established in the Tohoku region and stands out as the axis for the Tohoku Mono-Zukuri orientation.
