We look at everyday life
and practical work
with the same eye.
FUWA LAB is a small studio based in Kobe.
Our work spans China market research, product selection, objects and materials, and observations drawn from everyday life.
We value careful verification, first-hand understanding, and the ability to notice what may be missed in summaries, appearances, or assumptions.
Across both professional work and daily life, we try to look closely, record clearly, and choose with care.
FUWA LAB works across China market research, the reworking of old materials, and observations drawn from everyday life with cats.
We look closely at both objects and information, and record what we verify through our work in the Journal.
China Market Research & Ground-Level Verification
We conduct primary research and ground-level verification in the Chinese market, with a focus on understanding how businesses, transactions and operating realities actually work beyond public information.
Living with Cats & Product Selection
We observe how products work in everyday life with cats, paying attention to usability, materials, care and the small details that shape long-term use.
Old Materials & Adornment
We work with old beads, stones and other materials, recording their character and reworking selected pieces into small objects and adornments.

Collection
Materials & AdornmentOld beads, natural stones and other materials each carry their own character.
We look closely at their texture, color and form, and bring selected pieces together in ways that feel natural in everyday life.
