Origin of the brand name
The brand name "Ounchan" comes from
It was named after my grandmother.
My grandmother was a talented person and was loved by those around her.
The store was named in the hope that, like her grandmother, it would become a reliable presence for many people.
OUNCHAN® is a registered trademark.
The reason for starting the business
It all started when a friend of mine asked me for advice, saying, "His mother has passed away and he is sad to throw away the kimono she left behind, but what should he do?" His words, "I don't want to waste the memories of my mother," struck a chord with me, so I remade the kimono into a blouson jacket that could be worn every day. When my friend received the finished blouson, he was so happy that he said, "Now I feel like I can always be with my mother," and I felt a strong desire to remake things that would connect precious memories to the future.
