🌙 Karakuri no Tsuki | 絡繰ノ月
“Karakuri no Tsuki” is a brand label dedicated to short stories, fantasy, and Japanese-style folklore-inspired works— pieces rooted in atmosphere, worldbuilding, and narrative depth.
The brand slogan is:
“Somewhere tonight, the gears are laughing.”
In the quiet night workshop, when the tiny gears known as stories begin to smile—
we capture that moment and shape it into a work.
⚙️ Karakuri Engineering Division | 絡繰技術部
🧩 Division Philosophy | 部門理念
“The world is moved by curiosity and tape.”
Technology? Not required. What matters is the obsession to “make it move.”
With cardboard, wire, and a little love, even the universe turns.
The Karakuri Engineering Division does not aim merely to “make things move,”
but to create mechanisms that achieve
“movement that makes you smile.”
(*Staffed by two creatures: 🦉Chapi-maru / 👿Devicho)
