MIZEN
MIZEN is a project with the mission of enhancing the status of highly skilled artisans and increasing the sustainability of traditional industries by creating a brand where craftsman carrying traditional craftsmanship take center stage.
Transforming Craftsmanship into Design
Dyeing, Weaving, Knitting, Sewing
At MIZEN, each garment is a culmination of the finest techniques from various fields. The craftsmanship serves as a means to create, and the outcome – the final product – varies greatly depending on the thoughts of the person handling it.
Through our vision, MIZEN strives to thoughtfully incorporate the pinnacle of artisanal skills in our designs, creating unique pieces that are possible only in Japan. Alongside these creations, we offer an experience of a rich environment and the serene passage of time that they embody.
職人こそがブランド
In the European-centered fashion system, designers typically take the spotlight, with artisans possessing the skills to materialize designs often playing a supporting role. However, MIZEN believes that the value lies in the craftsmanship itself, and the artisans who wield these skills are the true protagonists of our brand.
Japanese Craftsmanship as Neo-Luxury
日本の技術を次世代のラグジュアリーへ
In Japan, there are many crafts that require exceptionally high levels of skill, unique in the world, spread across the country. We believe it is essential to boldly change our methods of utilization and expression to meet the demands of the ever-evolving modern world.
MIZEN stands at the forefront of tradition, absorbing the contemporary essence while evolving our craftsmanship into a new form that connects to the future.
The Connection Between People is the True Luxury.
In today's world, where everything is easily accessible online, perhaps the true luxury experience lies in feeling the presence of others, in mutual respect and understanding. MIZEN focuses on the creators behind the products and their craftsmanship, offering items that allow you to experience the warmth and intimacy of human touch.
While enjoying the rich lifestyle that MIZEN offers, we are building a system that supports and contributes to industries and society
MIZEN (未然)
MIZEN is committed to building our own system, centered around the skilled craftsmanship of artisans, without being constrained by existing fashion business models. This represents a challenge to create something new that has not yet taken shape, a concept we call 'pre-formed creation'. The name MIZEN symbolizes our strong determination to develop our own unique system.
