WHAT IS TOI?
The story behind our logo
=Toy
=Question
=Truth Over Illusion
TOI stands for "Toy, Question, Truth Over Illusion".
It has a triple meaning and is designed to look like both English and Kanji.
This is also a gimmick that reflects TOI's belief that "everyone sees a different 'truth'."
TOI not only creates products and services, but also people who can think and act for themselves.
We should take the fact that we see things differently as a positive thing and share what we see from our own perspectives.
Furthermore, by throwing this information out into society, it creates a reproduction of the discovery(!).
Question
(=Challenges)
Journey
(=Service, Product)
Truth
(=Value)
At TOI, we don't just think about the material value of art toys, but also about their ability to answer social questions.
We provide journeys (products and services) that take you to your own truth (value).
