Collection: MONOGATARI

Our company name, "MONOGATARI" is a combination of the words "product (MONO=mono)" and "story (MONOGATARI)".

From the birth of a product (mono) to the time it is used in someone's hands, there are indeed many stories to tell.

How did the developer come up with the idea of creating a product?
What kind of people are attracted to the product, and what kind of feelings do they have about the product?
What kind of feelings can be satisfied by the product?
The more attractive the product is, the more interesting and colorful its story becomes.
Through our products (mono), we want to connect the thoughts of the creators with the thoughts of you.

We want to create a variety of new stories for each of you.
This is the reason we named our company MONOGATARI.
We want to provide you with attractive products that can be told like a story and loved beyond the ages.

Commitment to Products:
I have always loved imported goods, and I was interested in things made in cultures different from Japan, with different values and ideas.

My life changed drastically when I visited an exhibition in Germany.
I encountered the passion for craftsmanship expressed by the makers of these products. This encounter was the starting point of my decision to start my own company.

I was drawn in by the story of the maker's passion and the history of the product until it was completed. I felt that I could move people's hearts by conveying the story that resides in the object on behalf of its creator.
I want to connect people to people and the world through objects, and I want as many people as possible to know the stories hidden in objects!

I was fascinated by the natural material wristwatches made by a small workshop in Kreuzberg, so much so that I was desperate to ask for a sales contract in Japan.

This encounter is the origin of MONOGATARI.
