We don’t do “something special” for the environment. It might be more accurate to say that we didn’t have to.

Shikkui, Japanese lime plaster, is a building material that hardens while absorbing carbon dioxide from the air. And limestone, its main raw material, is a gift from the sea—left behind by marine creatures from ancient times.For 100 years, Tagawa Shikkui Labs has been engaged in a way of crafting where the products we create are naturally integrated into the Earth’s cycle. The very foundation of our business is, by its nature, sustainable. Building on that, we fulfill our responsibility to protect the ocean that provides us with its bounty. Centered on these two pillars, we’d like to introduce Tagawa Shikkui Labs’ approach to sustainability.
