    HANNYA - A popular mythical creature amongst traditional Japanese folklore. Commonly associated with wisdom ,the tale of a heroine being transformed into a demon due to the unleashing power from her internal anger and jealousy. It is a grim story from face value...However, it is also a tale of Motivation and Transformation. Displaying the will to act on what is righteous for ourselves is what we aim for our customer to experience through our products. 

    From anime, spiritual ideology to architecture and lifestyles... being exposed to Japan's culture throughout childhood as an outsider was an exhilarating experience. We hope to relive nostalgic memories along with their impactful aesthetics and meaningful significance beneath those legendary creations. Hence the reason behind these graphics, to honour the culture by paying respect through our artistic products.

    It is also our motivation to evolve passionately as the core value of AKA HANNYA.
