I want to make my garden cozy and relaxing space for my family. It will also comfort my friends and neighbours in my daily life.
I want my garden be a landscape everyone is longing for.
Takasho was founded in 1980 with the aim of becoming a global, high-touch garden and garden lifestyle maker with the business theme of Heart & Art (creating a relaxing space) while disseminating the culture of the garden to the world.
Since the middle of the last century, clothing, food, housing and daily life have improved rapidly, and next to the house, living in the garden has become a keyword – the balance between the house and garden (family life) has become more and more important.
In addition, under the theme of “Impressed with Heart” with the concept of “Wind, Light, Water, Green”, Takasho has developed its business in two main divisions, namely “Professional Use” and “Home Use”. Products for “Professional Use” require design and construction and “Home Use” products are for customers who want purchase and enjoy by themselves.
As for overseas expansion, which is the basis of our global expansion, we have a subsidiary, Takasho Europe, in the EU, which has grown significantly and now sells to nearly 3,000 retail stores. With sales expanding into the professional and home use markets in China, South Korea, and Taiwan, expectations for the future are increasing. Let’s create a prosperous future for healthy and happy people and society through garden business.
Many of the products we handle at the Takasho Group are a combination of heavy, bulky, and long items, but we want our customers to make their lives in the garden a space full of happy smiles, family joy, and fun. We pride ourselves on the wisdom, perspiration, heart, and feelings toward people for that purpose as our number one product. That is the “living garden” that we advocate. Furthermore, Takasho cherishes the phrase, “People create the future, and everything is created by people.” We hope that you will understand Takasho’s thoughts and growth as a company that contributes to a wonderful environment and cultural industry. We look forward to your continuing guidance and encouragement in the future.CEO

JAPANES GARDEN CULTURE
The four seasons -the essence of Japan. It breaks down waste and refines only essence. We would like to cherish the beautiful culture that has been handed down by a delicate sense of Japanese aesthetic. We cherish minimalism. With this the beautiful Japanese melody can be heard.
SPRINGThe fragrance of a gentle flower which began to open in the garden, the spring is already there.
SUMMERWind is like peace. A swaying song it sings. Drifting away in the summer wind dancing greens in the field
AUTUMNTime is filled with a hurried dusk. The trees begin to colour and foretell the deeper seasons.
WINTERTrees spread their roots to the earth and people expand their minds to the new season.
