Found MUJI:
A journey to encounter wonderful things
It has been 10 years since Found MUJI Aoyama was established in Aoyama, Tokyo.
So far, we have visited more than 30 countries and regions, experiencing local life and culture, and searching for everyday tools, handicrafts and techniques unique to each place. We call this activity “Found MUJI”: a continuous journey to the present that leads us to look in detail at the world in search of wonderful things. A bench on the roadside, a mop drying under the eaves of a house, an aluminium Chinese soup spoon used on a food stall. These are all everyday tools that are used as a matter of course in their own local areas.
Meanwhile, our lives go on with so many objects around us, accompanying us as if they have always been there. How and when did they start to be used? Where did we come across them? Why do we keep them close in our everyday lives?
By taking a fresh look at the articles we usually use without thinking, we should be able to discover why they attract us, why they excite us, why they are dear to us. Let’s start by cherishing the things around us, and then from there, why don’t we look for an opportunity to refine our vision to spot the “exceptional” among them?

Goods
Found MUJI
Innovations of MUJI are not simply a process of creation, they are a review of living by “Searching and Finding” . Searching throughout the world for durable and long-lasting daily necessities, MUJI refines found items to suit our changing lifestyles, cultures and customs, reproducing them at reasonable prices.
From 2003, ‘Found MUJI’ started its journey with a keen eye for good products, exploring the underlying values of the makers, retaining the essence of their creations, and re-tailoring them into MUJI goods that fit the modern way of life.
Join us as we continue the Found MUJI journey together.
