Business

Business Areas

ADAPT operates in four areas — brands, retail, editorial, and trade — inside a single company. Rather than running them as separate businesses, we keep them connected.

Brand Operations

We plan, develop, and sell our own brands in-house, handling concept, production management, and distribution ourselves. Keeping the full process inside one company helps us carry the intent of a brand through every stage.

For the brands we currently operate, see Brands & Projects.

Retail

We operate a physical store in Kamakura, Kanagawa. The store is rooted in its local context while serving both Japanese customers and international visitors. Alongside our own brands, we carry curated goods from across Japan.

Cultural Communication

We produce editorial work — content, planning, and creative direction — that shares Japanese culture and regional identity with readers in Japan and overseas, and that carries the perspective of makers and communities over time.

Import / Export

We handle import, export, and wholesale with partners in Japan and abroad. Our selection and distribution are shaped by the cultural context of the products themselves, so that what moves across borders carries its meaning with it.
