Mission

Cultivating Personal Leadership

Build a society that cultivates personal leadership. That's our mission. Life based on commonality was a thing of the past. We now live in an age where people are able to work and have the lifestyle built around personal values. On the other hand, many education systems are not able to provide guidance based on personal strengths and qualities. That is why we create products that are based around personal leadership and self-directedness. 「Ability to raise and solve own issues」「Society made of people who can light their own path」Our beliefs are embedded here at our company「CLEARNOTE」
