CHAPTER 1

The memory of the lands

Sapporo is located on an alluvial fan created by the Toyohira River. Dotted around the very edge of the alluvial fan were ponds from which crystal-clear spring water gushed forth. In Ainu, these ponds were called mem. This is where the people who originally inhabited this land would sit and rest, and where daily life unfolded.

CHAPTER 2

In our name

Mem: Scattered places to sit and rest. For our name, we took a word that bears the memory of this land and added a concept of belonging that we describe as making the world your own home.

Migrate
Move to a new environment, the migration of migratory birds, the transition of the seasons
Experience
Feel, learn, notice
Mindful
Hold something in your heart, always remember it, devote yourself to it

    Our quiet entrance, open to people on the streets.

    An exterior that brightens the street, like the white birch naturally suited to snow. The entrance incorporates a sense of beginning.

  • The approach at early evening, greenery visible beyond the narrow front garden

    Down an alley, and into the quiet.

    A narrow approach where the hustle and bustle of the city is swiftly left behind. As you follow the glowing lights, your journey changes gears.
