Results of the Exhibition
Many people attended the exhibition, and the booths for "Mon" and "Kiara" were highly successful every day. Just as the term "Japonism" was coined, we felt a strong interest in Japan from many Europeans. We received numerous compliments like "elegant" and "cool," which were greatly encouraging. Visitors frequently mentioned the word "samurai" when viewing "Mon," suggesting it evoked such imagery. Considering incorporating the "samurai" theme in future product developments might be beneficial. The exhibition concluded on a high note.

Voices from Visitors

  • A wonderful suit that embodies the "samurai" I admired!

    I thought wearing traditional Japanese clothing would be difficult, but this suit is easy to wear and has a great texture that makes me feel like a samurai. I want to enjoy my own style by coordinating with accessories along with "Mon."

  • Felt the spirit of Zen through "Kiara"

    In my busy life, I needed time to calm my mind and became interested in Zen. Knowing that the "Kiara" Samue has roots in Zen monks' workwear intrigued me. I definitely want to incorporate it into my life.

  • Suitable for all ages and formal occasions

    The "Mon" Kimono Suit fits well regardless of age. I like that it can be worn easily like Western clothing. I would love to wear this "Mon" Kimono Suit to music concerts and theater performances.
