Mitsumi
Q1. What Made You Decide To Establish Your Own Brand? What Is Meaning Of Brand Name?
ブランド設立のきっかけは何ですか？また、ブランド名の意味を教えてください。
I like handmade works, especially handmade accessories. Since I was a child, I have loved making things, so I thought I would try making my own favorite accessories.
My name is written as 光海 and read as “Mitsumi,” I reversed the kanji like a palindromes so that I could write “Kaikou” and still read it as “Mitsumi.” Also, since I have a passive personality, I chose the brand name |海|光| with ||| to play a role of a support to give me reassuring.
Q2. Please Describe Your Production Process.
商品はどのような工程を経て出来上がるのでしょうか？
I don't decide to make a work with an image from the beginning, but I collect parts of my favorite accessories and combine them freely to create a work. We give a name that matches the appearance of the completed work and make it into a product.
Q3. What Made You Interested In NY Market?

Q4.Which One Is Your Favorite Piece? And Why?
イチオシはどの商品ですか？又その理由は？
"Koeda” and also “Mimosa, lavender, Shibazakura, etc.”
