The Fulbung Collection is a "deadstock art collection" of carefully selected old and rare practical products that can be called Japanese culture.
Products that are no longer in production will disappear from the world. However,
we do not want that to happen. We redefine them as rare art and archive them. And we will deliver them to the future.

Archive Collection
Fulbung (フルブング)がアーカイヴしているコレクションを紹介します。すでにデッドストックとなっている過去の実用品をクリーニングをして密封し、管理番号を付与して保管しています。コレクションは、
今なお使用可能なもの、劣化や損傷があり実用品として機能しないものなど、状態は多様です。そのため、基本的には「NOT FOR USE」のコレクションとなります。
Fulbung is proud to present its archived collections. The collection consists of practical items from the past that have already become dead stock,
cleaned, sealed, and given a control number. The condition of the items in the collection is diverse. Some are still usable,
while others are so deteriorated or damaged that they no longer function as utility items.
Therefore, the collection is basically a work of art to be appreciated and collected, not as a practical object.

The Fulbung Collection supports the international goal of a sustainable and better world,
which was unanimously adopted by member states at the UN Summit in September 2015.
We revalue products that would otherwise be disposed of.
We want to re-evaluate them as art and create an opportunity to re-evaluate the "value of things.
We do not throw things away for the sake of the earth. We nurture a love of things and a sensitivity to value things.
We will fulfill our responsibility to make and use things. Based on this philosophy,
we are engaged in activities to transform "time" into "value.
The Fulbung Collection is engaged in the digitization of the "Deadstock Art Collection" and archiving of the data.
We are working to connect the many products created by hand in the past to the future.
Some of the Fulbung Collection will be displayed in our physical stores.
The collections in the store will be changed on an irregular basis, so please inquire in advance if you have a collection you would like to see.
