About GenJi

The word Gen Ji in Chinese means root base and it's also the name of the Japanese era name which was created to mark the beginning of a new 60-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. So, basically it means something fundamental or beginning of something. The philosophy of this project follows this meaning.
