The Quiddity of Life, R100 tokyo, Japan
The Better Life Index shows Japan performs well in a number of well-being dimensions compared with other countries. In terms of education, safety, and environmental quality, Japan performs better than the average. R100 Tokyo has unveiled a brand-new level of luxury and quality of life. The next phase of Japanese art of living is described by a new term called QOL (Quiddity of Life).
Japan's aesthetic qualities transcend philosophical ideas about art and beauty. A cultural worldview is formed by them. In today's world, we are seeking the art of living.
R100 Tokyo is a Japanese brand whose mission is to cultivate design rooted in Japanese aesthetics with a global perspective. Creating meaningful values and innovating for a new era will be the result. This combines their vision of aesthetics, design, and sustainability. So what is the meaning of "QOL"? QOL is the most recent definition of the quiddity of life, from which most of us know the quality of life but, on top, having more layers and value. In order to meet such social challenges as sustainability, regeneration, and carbon emission reduction, the R100 Tokyo embraced and implemented a higher quality of life approach. They are trying to do that by incorporating knowledge required for the next era, including art, design, business, finance, technology, and sciences.
During a period of high economic development, complex living rapidly spread throughout the country. Individuality has progressed into "quantity" in lifestyle. Humanity today prioritizes a lifestyle called "Quality of life".
What does quality of life mean to you? Since each lifestyle is different, we cannot guarantee a definite answer. However, creating a sophisticated living space to provide a quality of life is where we can begin. A first step in cultivating and experiencing Japanese culture is to observe the environment and place in which we live. Most assets are valued based on their location.
1. CREATIVITY
Our home is more than just a place to live. This is a place to show what we dream of, and also to demonstrate our unique personality traits. Craftsmanship and products you can use at home can be found easily in Japan. In addition to just being a decoration, this is a way of appreciating luxury in life. Creativity or design is often incorporated into the place you live, and here are some ways to get more inspiration about creativity for your home from concierge services.
2. CROSS-CULTURE
A cross-cultural approach is one of the investments in the realm of design, as well as in living, that will give your apartment a new sense of value. One of the most valuable decisions you will make is to hire a designer for your apartment. This will give you not only a superior quality of living but also a tangible sense of ownership.
Whether you want to buy a second home for yourself or for your children or an apartment for them to stay in when they visit Japan's capital for studies or travel, all nationalities have unique cultures that influence their lifestyles. Though all wishes may differ, almost all clients have a limited amount of time due to their hectic international schedules. To make the most of their customers' limited time, R100 Tokyo finds out as soon as possible what their clients' needs and lifestyles are.
3. LUXURY
In today's world, luxury is more than just something expensive or a brand; it is also a sense of appreciation, the value of craftsmanship, the value of furniture, and the sense of living in luxury. Taking into account the neighborhood community, your home's design lifestyle, and concierge services that may streamline the process of building or managing your apartment or group are all significant aspects to consider.
4. QUALITY
When it comes to quality, it is rare to find condominiums larger than 100m2 in prime locations. As with an apartment in Japan, beside the design, the first thing to consider is the quality. Japan is an area prone to earthquakes. It is therefore important that we pay attention to the quality of the buildings there. Thus, prominent architects have designed and constructed buildings in prime locations at some points in history, which is a quality assurance for your home or investment. In Japan, aesthetic design is regarded as one of the most precious and valuable assets. The finest materials should be used in the design of your apartment if you are serious about investing in it.
5. REGENERATION
There is a significant cushioning effect provided by regeneration initiatives, but when it comes to holding properties in a portfolio, they have a limited effect. Toward a New Growth Era in our society, conservation is one of the value to keep our society reiterate.
Regeneration of urban areas contributes to sustainable development by 'recycling' land and buildings, reducing demolition waste, urbanizing peripheral areas, and facilitating intensification and compactness. As we mature, choosing the right apartment that fits our needs can benefit our society and help us to respond to our social responsibilities.

The rooted in Japanese aesthetics with a global perspective
INTERVIEW
M: Merci Magazine, Peggy Lui | R+: R100 tokyo Takashi Urakawa
M: How do you yourself define the quiddity of life?
R+: I believe that it is important to live a life of self- fulfillment that values “essence” more than quality. It’s not about always longing for what you don’t have, but about living with a deep understanding, respect, and joy for what is around you. For example, I think it means understanding and caring for what kind of intentions and processes were used to create a product, feeling proud of passing on something that has been handed down in an authentic and honest way, and I believe that it means to feel the essential value of things and experiences while living in the moment.
In other words, it is a way of life that values not just material or quantitative satisfaction, but a way of feeling and weaving meaningful time, and enjoying it while feeling an inner sense of fulfillment. As we live in a diverse society, we have to be flexible and adapt to new rules.
On the other hand, you may be feeling doubt, frustration, and anxiety about the sense of accelerating, faster, higher, and more. It is in these times that we need to discern “what changes and what stays the same” and what is important. I feel that enjoying and living on one’s own time axis leads to an essential way of life. In other words, expressing oneself in one’s own way of life, which I consider to be a quality and essential way of life.
M: How does R100 tokyo strive to provide or improve the quality of life of people purchasing your properties?
R+: Our residences have been carefully selected from the perspective of R100 tokyo, then we revitalize the property with thoughtful design to enhance the value. Our properties are located in some of the most desirable central Tokyo neighborhoods, which are backed by history, and we create homes of high quality and spacious proportions. The city of Tokyo is rich in culture and offers a variety of properties to suit all tastes. The updated renovated spaces are not only economically rational and comfortable to live in, but they are also intrinsically rich spaces that have been carefully created one by one. We believe that the following elements of a home are necessary for a rich life.
Rather than selecting extravagant materials we chose materials that will develop character over time.
They are spacious enough to accommodate changes in lifestyle and allow for a variety of uses.
Designs that residents will grow to love as they go about their daily life.
We are earnestly pursuing a space where people can live comfortably for many years.
