In terms of its sales and business activities, the visions of Orchid Pavilion are to:
1) blend fine arts, antiquity and philosophy with the everyday life,
2) harmonize the cultures of the East and the West, and
3) synthesize the past and the present in order to build a multi-cultural future.
Orchid Pavilion is constantly engaged in various artistic projects with artists and designers from Japan, China, and Hong Kong in order to create new designs and innovative products that can shed some elegant and refreshing artsy lights on the everydayness of modern life. On the other hand, through the introduction and promotion of the Oriental antiques, arts and cultures to the international art lovers, Orchid Pavilion attempts to respond and react in the best possible way to the dynamic cultural environment of today’s highly globalized world.
The mission of Orchid Pavilion is to create products that can bring Oriental arts, traditions, antiquity and elegance into the contemporary busy and bustling metropolitan everyday life.
As you may have already noticed, the name of the organisation - Orchid Pavilion - is influenced by the Sage of Calligraphy (書聖) WANG Xizhi (303–361), who is most famous of his Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion (蘭亭集序), and whose calligraphic works are still greatly influencing today's Chinese and Japanese calligraphy and being admired by many art lovers worldwide. The founders of Orchid Pavilion hope to create a spaceless and timeless "Orchid Pavilion" which serves not only as a platform to gather art lovers from all around the world and foster communications and knowledge exchange between people who are interested in Chinese and Japanese arts (especially antique), culture, and philosophy, but also as a bridge to allow the contemporary culture to synthesise harmoniously with the old wisdom.

Each of Orchid Pavilion's designs begins with an East Asian philosophical concept – be it Japanese aesthetics (such as “mono no aware”, “wabi-sabi”, and “yūgen”), the Taoist idea of “tian ren he yi” (the harmony between human and nature), Confucianism, or Zen Buddhism – or a historical reference – be it a Japanese Heian tradition or a Chinese Tang Dynasty custom. All the related concepts and references are explained with great details on the products’ Amazon pages so that the honourable customers can be able to learn more about not only the technical features of the products but also the very unique and interesting story of every single design.
The founders of Orchid Pavilion want to not only provide their honourable customers with durable and high-quality products that shine with an aura of sophistication, elegance and antiquity, but to also create a learning platform for their honourable customers to learn about East Asian literati culture, arts and philosophy. The official blog of Orchid Pavilion (http://orchid-pavilion.blogspot.jp/) is filled with articles regarding the literati culture of China and Japan. The discussion topics on the blog include calligraphy, ink art, landscape painting, poetry, as well as East Asian philosophical thoughts such as Confucianism, Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and Chinese and Japanese aesthetics. All the articles are written originally by the team members of Orchid Pavilion, together with great effort, professional expertise, and numerous thorough researches conducted.
If time allows, please feel free to leave comments and feedback on the blog. The founders of Orchid Pavilion would be extremely happy if they could possibly communicate and exchange ideas with you. As Confucius once said, “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance”, Orchid Pavilion believes that there is always something to be improved and new knowledge to be acquired.
All the products provided by Orchid Pavilion are carefully designed to express the sophistication, gracefulness, stylishness, intelligence and uniqueness of their honourable and cultured customers.
