Japanese businesspeople and companies are lacking in individuality.

I hate politics. What they say and what they do is completely different.

I might look successful but I've made many mistakes. People take their failures too seriously. You have to be positive and believe you will find success next time.

It is clothes. It is parts. Therefore, you combine the parts differently to create your own unique expression.

Our underwear used to just be cotton, but we wanted to see if we could create something out of synthetics.

I tell people that we must have the courage to share what we feel, but no one follows me.

We are a country of artisans and a country of manufacturing. I think Japanese textile technology is the best in the world.
