Life and Journey.

live and travel

I travel to cultivate my life.

Cherish each day to travel.

And cultivate a culture of life.

The climate refers to the unique climate and geological environment of a region, and it changes little by little. As it is composed of "wind" and "soil," various seeds are brought in from outside by the wind, and those that take root in the land slowly grow and are created under the influence of the atmosphere. . Naturally, those that cannot adapt will die out, and new influences will slowly change and nurture them.

The indigenous culture that thrives on this climate is called " vernacular ." We can see things all around us, such as architectural styles that are optimized for the local environment, nursery rhymes and folk songs that have been passed down in a region or ethnic group, cuisine that has been passed down in a region, or the trends of a certain era.

In an age where things and information can easily cross national borders and similar things can be made anywhere, tools and works of art that strongly reflect this climate are very interesting. Therefore, at Vanacle, we would like to collect various items from all over the world with the theme of "wind" and "earth" and deliver them along with the unique culture behind the artists.

"Wind"

Items mainly with the theme of "travel" and "mobility".

An atmospheric phenomenon created by differences in temperature, and a medium that transports various things. It gives a new perspective to life and daily life, and the wind itself provides moisture and stimulation. Sometimes I feel like going on a windy journey.

"soil"

Items mainly with the theme of "living" and "lifestyle".

It is the earth that nurtures all things, and it is the foundation, but it also changes in fertility and harshness depending on latitude and altitude, and it also creates environmental cycles. It supports our lives and gives us peace of mind. When I return from a trip, I realize that my life itself is made of soil.
