EPIPHANY WORKS

Producing new values as “Food for the mind”

We've realized the limitations of improving productivity by only improving efficiency. The evolution of information technology brougnt relativization of works of human being. It is changing the way we live and work dramatically.

At Epiphany Works, not only do we propose solutions to problems for our clients and the public, but we also work to help clients think and create new values as “food for the mind”. Each person has their own set of values as they do creative work. Through this, we work to contribute to the improvement of true productivity.

In a society where specialized fields are segmented, bringing them together to collaborate and co-create has proven to be an effective by our past achievement.

Epiphany Works is thoroughly engaged in producing and planning all parts of business, from management to public relations, to bring these values to the world.

The company name, Epiphany, comes from an English term bringing together the ideas of “manifestation” and “intuition”, as was expressed by the three wise men from the east in regards to Christ’s glory. Regarding the baby born in a stable, if they had not proclaimed that “this child is the son of God,” then perhaps nobody would know of Him. It is through the sensitivity of the people teaching it that many people came to know of the invisible values. We, in this way, are acting as a bridge between these values and society.
