WHAT'S IN A NAME?
We say EVERYTHING! It is Everything we stand for.
The word UCHISOTO is derived from two different words UCHI & SOTO which literally means Inside & Outside in Japanese culture.
We dared to change the narrative and present our own interpretation.
UCHISOTO means Blurring the lines between Inside & Outside of Oneself.
UCHI/ Inside:
For Us every individual in its form is a collection of stories gathered through times.These stories are the Intangibles ( Feelings, Emotions, Memories, Reactions ) which make them Unique.
SOTO/ Outside:
It is the outside environment or the space for the inhabitant.
UCHISOTO is imagined as a single non-hyphenated word which is a beautiful amalgamation of these two opposite yet interdependent words UCHI & SOTO ,blurring the line between the two thus emphasising on our core belief that Outside is a true reflection of One's Inside.
