"To a fun-filled life"
RAYWOOD CONCEPT
RAYWOOD's philosophy
In architectural terms, leaving some space is called "allowing some play."
If moving parts are not given enough leeway, they will not perform as expected. Play is necessary for smooth movement.
We believe it's important to have some fun in life.

“Message from the CEO”
<The meaning of life>
I've always wondered whether there is meaning in life.
But it seems like life has no meaning.
There is no meaning, so it seems we have to find meaning for ourselves.
You may not need to find meaning, but just living is boring.
So life is more fun if you make your own decisions and challenge yourself. I think that's what freedom is all about.
However, if you don't have any free time or space in your life, you might not even have the opportunity to try something new.
In other words, isn't it important to have some "fun" in life?
My conclusion is that in order to find meaning in life, you need to "add some fun to life."
<Be tolerant>
It's okay not to be perfect, right?
Isn't this just right?
Wouldn't it be okay to be less sensitive and more tolerant of things?
If you change your way of thinking a little, the way you see the world will change 180 degrees.
It's never too late to start at any age, and it's not a bad thing.
Even if you start playing the piano at age 40, by the time you reach age 50 you will have only been playing for 10 years.
It's not that amazing.
Please don't give up on your desire to try.
I want you to take a step forward.
I would be happy to be able to provide that support.
< Challenge the possibilities >
I believe.
Human potential exists at any age,
Perhaps the meaning of life is to challenge that possibility.
People should have hope.
If you live with hope, every day will be enjoyable.
We don't just sell hobby supplies.
I want to sell hope, the "potential of people."
And I want to carry that on to the future.
< Become obsessed >
There was something I liked in the past.
But when I became an adult, I stopped.
But I thought I didn't have to quit.
By creating, we realize many things, and that is what makes up our lives.
I believe that creating and taking on challenges enriches life.
I believe that by creating and challenging ourselves, we can face ourselves, increase our time to think, and live like human beings, which leads to progress for humanity and harmony with modern society.
