About
I’m Tomo, and it’s my pleasure to be your cultural bridge. I believe wisdom is passed down through generations and stored within our bodies. Many of us have forgotten the ways to tap into it. Craftspeople, who constantly work with their hands and five senses, seem to have better access to that wisdom. Wisdom Toolkit seeks knowledge directly from these hand thinkers and bridges the freshly acquired wisdom from modern Japan to the rest of the world.
