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

Japanese businesspeople and companies are lacking in individuality.

More than trends, consumers need functionality. Everything needs an element of fashion, but thats more like a spice.

Japan's biggest problems are conservatism and cowardice.

If you always think about your dreams or goals, work steadfastly towards them and continue to challenge yourself, you will definitely be able to realise those dreams or goals.

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

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