Unique Offerings
The highlight of this event will be our exclusive
Personal Order Reception, where customers can experience the combination of traditional techniques and innovative designs. Attendees can witness exceptional displays of our crafted goods and, most excitingly, participate in the early sales of new items under our newly launched brand,
MASMI ESSENTIAL.
The event will showcase a collection of rare archival pieces, reflecting the rich history of Masumi Kobou. Among the highlights will be the
