When creating products, The Ichi handles all planning, design, and sales in-house, allowing us to take pride in our manufacturing and provide products with a sense of responsibility for quality.
Each and every process is meticulously crafted to carefully express the beautiful seasonal phenomena that are unique to Japan.
We also continue to create products with soul, using techniques handed down since ancient times and the skills our craftsmen have cultivated.
This attention to detail can also be seen in the "Hokusai Graphic" umbrella and "IMAYO" soap.
Let's talk about it in more detail.
The attention to detail that goes into making Hokusai graphic umbrellas
"Stylish, elegant and stylish on rainy days and sunny days"
Starting with the idea of "We want to make an umbrella like that!", Hokusai Graphic continues to release umbrellas that are fresh and captivating the world in every era.
In making these umbrellas, we continue to focus on a design that combines the latest lightweight and functional features with traditional Japanese umbrellas.
-Large design that fits your body perfectly
The large size of Japanese umbrellas, a feature of Japanese umbrellas, dates back to the days of traditional Japanese clothing, and was created to prevent items like obi (sashes) from getting wet. Even today, umbrellas can be used to cover items like backpacks, and they are an excellent way to avoid crowded places.
・Durable yet lightweight
Normally, to increase strength, you would increase the number of ribs, but that makes the umbrella heavier, which makes it difficult to carry around. That's why we used "fiberglass" for the ribs. Because it's a light, flexible material, it's strong, wind-resistant, and lightweight.
IMAYO's dedication to its manufacturing process
IMAYO soap is based on rice bran oil and contains a unique blend of extracts, combining the dual functions of cleansing and beauty.
We are committed to making soap that makes the most of rice bran without adding any unnecessary ingredients.
As a manufacturing method, we use a "cold process" method that does not add heat to prevent the high-quality beauty ingredients from being destroyed.
What is the cold process method?
There are various methods for making soap, but the one that is currently attracting attention for its beauty benefits is the "cold process method."
Do you know what is specifically good for your skin?
Here we will explain why.
This method allows the beneficial ingredients to be locked into the soap without being destroyed. Heat treatments can cause the natural ingredients, such as oils and beauty ingredients, that are beneficial to the skin to deteriorate or escape.
On the other hand, the "cold process" method uses only the heat of a chemical reaction, which allows the beneficial ingredients to be tightly locked in, making it more moisturizing than products made using other methods, and leaving your skin feeling soft and supple!
Finally
Finally, what do you think?
We have talked about The Ichi's commitment to manufacturing.
We hope you will appreciate not only the quality of the finished product, but also The Ichi's commitment to the process.
We hope you will try our fiberglass umbrellas and cold process soaps.
