A Message from the Representative
As the bedding market changes, OFUTON KOBO continues to take responsibility for every stage, from preparing materials to sewing and final inspection. Keeping this work within OFUTON KOBO helps our team maintain consistent standards.
What we do is, in truth, very simple.
At OFUTON KOBO, we want customers to be glad they chose our bedding and our team to be proud of making it. We keep improving the workshop, our processes and the checks on each finished piece.
When customers are glad they chose our products, our partners, colleagues and I share in that satisfaction. I believe a business should benefit four groups: the buyer, the seller, society and the people doing the work.
through restful sleep and a bedroom you love.”
We make bedding and care about the homes it becomes part of. At OFUTON KOBO, our shikibuton and bedroom stylist YUKO’s work share a purpose: to make everyday life at home a little more comfortable.
to our parents, grandparents and dearest friends.”
For a maker, this should go without saying. Yet as price competition grows fiercer, the market fills with things made without care. The shikibuton we make at OFUTON KOBO should carry our pride within a fair price — the kind of thing you would recommend, from the heart, to someone who matters to you. That is the work everyone here keeps doing.
Since we began selling directly online, we read every message our customers send — one by one, carefully, to the end. There is much to learn in them. But what we value and take pride in most is still that single word from a customer: “thank you.” From here on, too, we will keep working for even one more “thank you.”
