01Centralized control of the entire process from designing to manufacturing to ensure stable quality

We design all our fabrics in-house, offering a variety of products for various applications. They are produced in partner factories in Japan, China, and other Asian countries in compliance with strict Japanese quality control standards. In addition, we use our global supply network to ensure the flexible and stable procurement of high-quality raw materials in order to provide cost-efficient products to our customers.

We are renowned as a cotton textile producer. With direct access to raw material sources inside and outside Japan, we maintain a stable supply of cotton textiles.

We develop original products using the latest information gathered from around the world through our global network and real-time customer insights gained from our online shopping website.

We gather various test data, including lightfastness, washing, perspiration, friction, drying, tear strength, and slippage resistance test results, from authorized testing organizations.
