Our Story
![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1107/8236/files/about-dokoyo.png?v=1716443735)
How nice is it when people ask us certain questions!
What is your name?
What is your favorite color?
Do you want to play with me?
Questions are like keys, and each key opens a new door.
A beautiful question can open a beautiful story.
"Dokoyo" in Japanese means
"Where are you coming from?"
For us, this is a beautiful question.
A beautiful question is the beginning of a beautiful story.
One answer for us could be that our story is still to be written, along with all those who will ask us more beautiful questions.
We like to think that, like a snowball, we are simply rolling down a hill and will become bigger, roll faster, become stronger, and involve all the other snowflakes we find in our path, accumulating more and more speed together until the hill ends.
Then, when the sun becomes hot, the snowflakes melt and fly back up. And one day, with the right conditions, those same snowflakes will come back down and perhaps become a new snowball.
Where we come from, we don't know, nor where we are going.
We just want to find other snowflakes to laugh and be close to one another.
