Thank you for vising yukiwajapan BASE shop.

We’re delighted to announce to you that today is the opening day for our shop at BASE. We have chosen today because this day, coincidentally, Ichiryu Manbai - the day that a single seed can eventually produce a great harvest and Taian - the most auspicious day of the old 6-day Japanese calendar overlaps. This day said to be the most fortunate day, and it is the best day to start a business.

A single seed cannot produce a harvest on its own. As “Rice” in Japanese character (米) represents 88 times of time and effort, only the harvest that was managed with effort can be the greatest. Like the origin of the word “Rice,” we are willing to make every effort to bring you each item with care and sincerity.

The shop name Yukiwa means Snow-ring.

Snow-ring is one of the traditional patterns that is used for fabrics. Our predecessor is a textile manufacturer in Tokamachi city, Niigata. Niigata is known for a snowy region, and our town is buried in snow half of the year. Living with snow can be hard, but we are blessed with a good harvest since full of nutrients in snowmelt water can serve energy and benefit during the harvest season. It’s been said that it was the Edo era in which the Japanese found out snowflakes are hexagon-shaped through microscopes imported from overseas. Surely, the people who first saw the cold and tiny snowflakes falling from the sky through microscopes were astonished and excited by its beauty. 

Stylized hexagon-shaped snowflakes are not in a perfect circle. However, we believe that even though snowflakes cannot be a perfect circle, they are trying hard to be one. We are also not perfect, and there may be some areas that we cannot fully respond to at times; however, we will do our best to manage and operate the shop to be the one and only.
