<p>About our venue:</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.totousa.com/">TOTO</a>,
we’ve always been inspired by a desire to improve everyone’s quality of
life. Through almost a century rich with innovation, TOTO has changed
the perception of what a bathroom can be — and how it can be used.<br><br>Our
founder, Kazuchika Okura, had a vision more than one hundred years ago
in 1912, before the concept of public sewage systems was widespread in
Japan. After seeing more advanced systems overseas, he was moved to
establish a ceramic sanitary ware laboratory to develop healthier and
cleaner living spaces.<br><br>In 1917, Okura founded Toyo Toki K.K.
(which became known as TOTO LTD.) to supply the market with these
products. TOTO was founded on a commitment to provide a comfortable
living space for people, while always protecting the planet and its
water.<br><br>Japan’s rich artistic heritage in pottery and porcelain is
alive in every TOTO product we create today. Throughout our expansion
worldwide, TOTO has remained true to the Japanese traditions that have
shaped our Company Motto and Philosophy.</p>
