We believe in product development, how the producer's identity while we design brand products is very important. Passive marketing driven design is fashion design a hit product to make, but would lead to the establishment of today filled with fascination how different things to offer to the market or a long look at the new market development and brand image. Hope that it will lead to Japan today's industry and market quality.
