‘Life with good things valued and used for a long time.’
KUDEN's Brand Mission
It is the people who support kimono, Japanese tradition and culture, including Japan's advanced sewing technology.
These people have a life, they are not doing it as volunteers, and it is their professionalism that makes Japanese craftsmanship so wonderful.
Why don't you cheer for Japanese craftsmanship?
If this is not done, the fire of Japanese tradition, great craftsmanship and MADE IN JAPAN will be extinguished.
The sewing factory that first supported KUDEN went bankrupt.
Seeing the moment when artisans we had helped lost their jobs made us determined to protect Japanese craftsmanship.
Since then, we have continued our efforts to keep Made in Japan and pay fair wages to the makers.
With the changing times, the environment for manufacturing in Japan is becoming more and more difficult.
That is why KUDEN proposes a ‘Life with good things valued and used for a long time’, and based on this concept, we make and deliver high quality MADE IN JAPAN clothes and products with this brand mission.
Our designs that you will love for a decade are made by Japanese artisans of craftsmanship and delivered to you.
For YOU who create, protect and love Japanese culture.
Japanese culture is made up of people.
Launched in 2017 with a new era of kimono fashion, ‘Next Kimono’, KUDEN by TAKAHIRO SATO is evolving into a lifestyle brand that goes beyond fashion.
The new message is ‘Japanese culture and people’.
Next Kimono’, a Japanese-mode innovative expression of traditional kimono culture.
In addition, KUDEN has collaborated with creators of Japanese POP culture such as Japanese anime, manga, illustrators and voice actors through charity work.
From now on, the product line-up will be expanded as a lifestyle brand.
Following on from the first product, Next Kimono, the second phase is Stationery.
A new stationery line based on the theme ‘Imagination & Creation’, inheriting the design philosophy of Takahiro Sato.
That is tsuzuru by KUDEN.
In addition, we will also introduce a selection of our favorite products made by Japanese manufacturers.
KUDEN supports people who take on the challenge of creating new things while respecting Japanese culture, and suggests unique designs and ways to enjoy them.
From here on, KUDEN will expand its product lineup and develop goods, services, and magazines that will bring the appeal of Japanese technology, tradition, and pop culture to the world.
