ATON
Aton is a Japanese brand founded in 2016 by Yasuharu Kuzaki. The name is derived from the Japanese expression for “A to Z,” representing a complete process and reflecting the brand’s commitment to creating clothing with a transparent and traceable production background, from raw materials to final product. Working closely with producers, Aton develops original textiles and constructs garments that balance structure and comfort. Silhouettes are polished yet effortless, combining lightness, softness, and durability. With a cross-category lineup, the brand proposes real standards for individuals who have defined their own style, creating pieces designed to be worn daily.
KAPTAIN SUNSHINE
Kaptain Sunshine is a Japanese menswear brand founded by Shinsuke Kojima. Known for its exclusive fabric development and exceptional Japanese craftsmanship, the brand refines heritage influences through a contemporary, elevated lens. Each piece is designed for longevity, evolving over time to develop a unique character that reflects both the wearer and a spirit of timeless, discreet sophistication.
SUZUSAN
Suzusan is a textile and fashion brand rooted in the tradition of Arimatsu- Narumi Shibori. Founded by Hiroyuki Murase, the brand seamlessly blends inherited craftsmanship with contemporary materials and design. By combining high-quality textiles from around the world with traditional Japanese dyeing techniques, Suzusan reimagines centuries-old craft into modern, wearable pieces. Through connecting this ancient art form with contemporary lifestyles and an international context, the brand breathes new life into Shibori bringing it to markets across the globe.
SSSTEIN
ssstein is a brand founded in 2016 by Kiichiro Asakawa. The brand explores the relationship between fabric and form through precise construction and material development. Its garments are defined by subtle drape, layered structure, and refined minimalism. Designed to adapt to different bodies, ssstein creates clothing that is quietly expressive and balanced between presence and restraint.
AKIO NAGASAWA GALLERY / PUBLISHING
Akio Nagasawa Gallery / Publishing was founded in 2014 in Ginza, Tokyo. The gallery focuses on master artists from Japan and abroad, including Daido Moriyama, Issei Suda, Hajime Sawatari, Sakiko Nomura, William Klein, and Sarah Moon. Through exhibitions and publications, it actively introduces their work to audiences in Japan and internationally. By realizing projects that artists were previously unable to bring to fruition, and encouraging new challenges through its unique activities and assets, the gallery supports works that can only be realized in this context. Alongside exhibitions, Akio Nagasawa Gallery / Publishing places equal importance on publishing art books. While exhibitions provide a direct and irreplaceable experience, books allow artworks to travel across time and place, reaching wider audiences. The gallery approaches books as art objects, carefully considering design, materials, and editing to reflect the artist’s vision.
