Innovations in Design Accelerate Market Advancement

A combination of Japanese traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics has won over a varied clientele, ranging from young fashion followers to wealthy enthusiasts. Local brands, such as TASAKI Co., Ltd. and Kataoka Co., LTD., and foreign companies, keep pushing the levels of imagination by presenting new shapes that are in line with today’s styles.
