Archipel is a small team dedicated to creating projects centered on Japanese culture.

Through our documentaries, as well as books and events, our aim is to bring new perspectives to Japan’s creative landscape, via the lens of creators and artists working at the forefront of Japan today.

What inspires them? What drives their creative process? How do they approach their craft?

These are some of the questions we have sought to pursue through Archipel, allowing us to witness Japanese creativity from up close over the years.
