Growing up, I was more skilled at building plastic models and repairing things than at sports. In college I majored in product design. After that, I worked in the architecture industry, and for a stationery company. I have been facing craftsmanship all my life.
Products that can be easily found at low prices on major online shopping websites are easily broken and easily thrown away. With such a flood of products, I feel that it is difficult to even find genuine products of good quality. I feel uncomfortable with this.
Regardless of price or country of production, I want to buy good products made by people who are serious about their craftsmanship, and I want to use them with love and care for a long time. I like to find products that fit comfortably into my daily life and fit the people who use them. And I wish to share that sense of value with everyone.
The products I carry in the company are all products that fulfill such wishes of mine. I wish you to have a wonderful encounter with products that will truly enrich your life.
It has been about a year since the concept of Bonten Trading started. Finally, it has come to the opening of the store. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those involved for their tremendous cooperation. The manufacturers who have created wonderful and beautiful products, and my family and friends who have supported me in many ways.
Thank you very much.
