Introducing TAYURA Canvas: A Safe and Collaborative Design Environment

In October 2025, Prove Mind, a Tokyo-based company led by CEO Satoshi Yuza, will roll out TAYURA Canvas, a groundbreaking design tool within its TAYURA Base framework. Recognizing the increasing importance of UI/UX design in web services and applications, TAYURA Canvas addresses specific challenges faced by small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the realm of collaborative design.

What is TAYURA Canvas?

TAYURA Canvas is built on the open-source design tool Penpot, setting itself apart by being deployable on private servers rather than relying on public cloud services. This unique feature allows teams to collaborate on designs securely, sharing information without the risk of data leaks.

The tool is designed to help businesses operate effectively in a stable environment while providing the necessary support to maximize the benefits of open-source software.

Addressing Modern Design Challenges

As digital design becomes increasingly vital, companies encounter various obstacles:

• - Information Management Risks: Utilizing public cloud services raises significant data security concerns.
• - Rising Costs: Relying on external SaaS solutions can lead to increasing expenses, particularly for smaller firms.

Prove Mind addresses these challenges with TAYURA Canvas, complementing its existing file-sharing system, TAYURA Vault. This integration promotes seamless design and collaboration within teams, all while mitigating risks.
