I hope you’re doing well and feeling grounded. I wanted to start something new—an ongoing “Founder’s Note” from me, Ryu.
I’m Japanese, living in Los Angeles, and I’m truly obsessed with the small, beautiful traditions passed down in Japan—not just because they’re “nice to have”… but because they carry a kind of wisdom that’s hard to explain—warmth you can feel, and care you can live with.
From time to time, I’ll share pieces of my Japan journey with you—what I love, what inspires me, and the moments that remind me why I’m proud of where R’s KOSO comes from. I’ll keep it personal and friendly—no lecturing.
This will be a gentle space for you to “experience Japan” with me—slowly & softly, and at your own pace, especially as we live in a chaotic world.🌿
If you’ve ever been curious about Japan, this is your invitation.
Something exciting is coming soon—
I can’t wait to share the next piece with you, from my Japan heart.🇯🇵🤍
Warmly,
Ryu
