Give the light of “Hope” to those who are in the darkness

About Hibino Sound Therapy Lab

We take this as our mission to give the light of “Hope” to those who is in the darkness.

Our goal is to cuddle and walk together right next to those who need the light especially in today’s society, in Japan.

In particular, those who live under stress, or fighting diseases….or who give cares for those people, or with various difficulties, depression, insomnia.

Having someone who is with those all the time may be the best idea, but we, humans have limitation.
When you feel lonely, something that keeps raining the light of hope, gives care givers relaxing time together as well
That’s “RINSHU” our product to make and sell.

We also have another mission to deliver the light to the traditional work・craftsperson’s work of country side, that are pretty hard to find hope in.

There are many first-class Paulownia chest craftsperson in Kamo Niigata. They make outstanding airtightness by hand that when you close a drawer, another drawer pops up. But recently use of drawers has become less and less, so that beautiful, ready-to-be-used-conditioned 30-40 year-old paulownias are just left in the mountains with no chance to get industrialized. If this goes on, not only those trees are wasted, but forests, towns, and most of all this wonderful heritage of craftwork over hundreds years will be ceased also.

RINSHU cleaves to the procedure of “Cut the trees by ourselves, carry them from the mountains, make each body by hands with all their hearts” no matter how much cares and the cost take .Just because of making a real deal, breath life into it, deliver the light to the user.

Our head office is located in Niigata. The four seasons are distinct, and there is beautiful nature in Niigata. Larks sing around in spring, field mustards color the ground. Rice fields are watered during Golden Week, powerful growing greens let us enjoy in summer. Rice fields turn to gold color in autumn, you can enjoy watching swans and anser fabalis soar over the reaped fields in winter. Self-sufficiency in food marks over 60%, used to have the biggest population as the place for rice back in Edo era. For you can get food coming directly from the fields easily, blessed with food from the sea also, everything is so delicious. Blessed environment of nature and food, strong links with Tokyo( only 2 hours by Shinkansen(the bullet train!)), there are hospitality to welcome customer, and the culture of helping and supporting one another. Rinshu is also made and supported by many people with this “culture of supporting”

We opened a showroom to let you experience Rinshu privately under special circumstance which is 3 minuted walk from Tokyo station, right in front of Imperial Palace, surrounded by lots of greens. (Reservation necessary)Concierge will guide you with a heartfelt hospitality. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
