ABOUT
US
Sazaki’s father is a chef continuing his family’s Edo-period funazushi business. Tsukita’s father is a Kaga Yuzen artisan, Growing up surrounded by craftsmanship, we naturally embraced an appreciation for detail and a deep love for creation.
Our paths crossed at MIHARA YASUHIRO and Yohji Yamamoto, where we gained invaluable experience. Inspired by this journey, we came together to create a brand that fuses Japanese tradition with modern sensibilities.
左嵜の父は江戸時代から続く鮒寿司屋の板前。月田の父は加賀友禅作家、幼少期から職人の手仕事に触れ、細部へのこだわりや物づくりへの愛を自然と学びました。
ミハラヤスヒロとヨウジヤマモト社での出会いを経て、日本の伝統と現代の感覚を融合するブランドを共に創ることを決意しました。
