Company
Since our founding in 1947, centered around our Kyoto headquarters and through business bases in various parts of Asia and the United States, our ribbons have connected the hearts of people worldwide. In a new era, new challenges arise, but our belief that “Ribbons Spin Joy” remains unchanged. With our history in our hearts, we will create the future.
