Philosophy of MOSS
MOSSのフィロソフィー
The elegant appearance of “MOSS” is a symbol of the Japanese sense of aesthetics,
which is represented by the Wabi-Sabi spirit.
Deep, astringent yellow-green moss is the unsung hero of Japanese gardens and bonsai.
It becomes the support that weaves eternal time.
The great artisans who work together with us, our valued customers, and the main host at the celebration banquet,
If they are gorgeous flowers, we are the “MOSS” that complements those gorgeous flowers.
Reflecting the aesthetics of moss in the worldview of food, MOSS CROSS TOKYO will become a place where
a wide variety of people, things, and events cross and interact and create important relationships.
The symbol “Takaramusubi” comes from the shape of the decorative knot used to wrap <treasures>.
It is an auspicious emblem that means endless continuity and wishes for eternal prosperity, longevity, and happiness.
It also shows respect for the producers' precious <treasures>.
苔(MOSS)の⾵情ある佇まいは詫び寂びに代表される⽇本⼈の美意識の象徴。
深く渋い⻩緑⾊の苔は、⽇本庭園や盆栽の陰の⽴役者。悠久な時を紡ぐ⽀えとなります。
共に歩む素晴らしき⽣産者様、⼤切なお客様、そして祝宴の主役の⽅々が華やかな花だとしたら、私達はその華やかな花々を引き⽴てる「苔」となる。
そんな苔の美学を⾷の世界観に反映しつつ、MOSS CROSS TOKYOは多種多様なヒト・モノ・コトが交差交流し⼤切なご縁を紡いでいく場所となります。
印である「宝結び」は、宝物を包むときの飾り結びの形から⽣まれたとされています。
