About Cornu Lab

O N E   P E R S O N

Cornu Lab is a one-person studio in Tokyo. The name comes from the Zhuangzi: on the snail’s left horn stands a kingdom, on its right another, forever at war over the ground between. Seen from far enough, everything under heaven is a snail’s horn.

Small, whole digital things, mostly about seeing, reading and learning: in-depth guides that help you truly see an artwork, first characters for children, reading companions for parents and kids. Each one sourced, measured, and meant to be used slowly, for years.

Small, but whole. Slow, but lasting. Honest about what we don’t know. No chasing scale, no chasing noise.

A world upon the snail’s horn.
