As the third largest economy globally, Japan is a highly developed free-market economy. Fourth in global purchasing parity and as a member of G7, Japan is the second largest developed economy globally.
Japanese consumers are highly educated, affluent, and can easily discern the cost benefits of a certain product over a lesser performing model. The Japanese market is characterized by consumers with high levels of disposable income who are drawn to premium, high-end goods and services. The level of household expenditure, which is among the highest in developed nations, illustrates how Japan can act as a brilliant testing ground for new products.
Our mission is to provide companies with insight, support, and knowledge accumulated over 126 years to succeed in one of the world’s richest economies, Japan!

brand : LaLa Lemons

An endearing consumer brand, ubiquitous in nature that is embraced as a refreshing, tangy beverage, on apparel, food, and so much more. Developed in Southern California, coming to Japan in summer 2020. . .see you at the Olympics!
brand : ella active
Unless you own a $100 umbrella it’s highly doubtful you’d know the brand you own. The Ella Umbrella changes this. The brand rolls of the tongue playfully, it is bright, fun, and proof that even rain can be an inspiration for new opportunities.
The Ella Umbrella is a brand experiment where a must-have item (umbrella when raining) is used as a segue to other complimentary related items. Among these we include gloves, shoe protectors, outerwear and such. This proof of concept will then evolve Ella into an evergreen brand. The jury is still out, yet Ella’s future looks very bright!

the past : Yagi
Yagi was established in 1893 with Mr. Yosabura Yagi, as its founder and president. The company started spinning cotton where Yagi’s innovation of a finer yarn contributed in a small way to the emergence of cotton as a global commodity. Over time the old spinning wheels were replaced by modern factories, and cotton yarn became Japan’s leading export, driving economic growth for a very long time.
In 1898 Yosaburo Yagi traveled to Shanghai to observe other spinning technologies. Even then Yagi was forward looking and globally minded. Over the last 127 years Yagi has built a network of joint venture and affiliated factories in China and Southeastern Asia on the basis of knowledge and how-how of the whole textile business, from raw materials, textile to production. A solid production system that delivers peerless expertise and experience.
the present : Yagi
The textile business is going through a period of transition responding to global changes in the market.
