Quoted from one of Matsuo Basho's haikai philosophies, "lightness." Expressing the simple feelings that I felt in my daily life without focusing on knowledge and techniques. It also shares the philosophy of beautiful design that oozes from within.
KARMI is quoted from one of Haikai poetry's concepts, karumi. Literally meaning “lightness,” it is an ideal for the style of Haikai founded by Basho Matsuo (a Japanese Haiku poet, who lived in the 17th century). We applied his Haikai concept of karumi to the product line of KARMI and hoped to express minimalism in daily life without relying on knowledge and technical skills too much. We think both haiku and design have common concepts in terms of the beauty produced from depth.

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design. We are inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. The more brands we meet, the more passionate we become about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations yet somehow remaining contemporary.
Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
Our selection of Japanese food is also based on craftsmanship in agriculture. We choose brands based on how they are made and we love brands that continue to use traditional natural techniques to grow food and prepare it. Good packaging and design is always and added joy to find!
