The car interior is becoming part of your life. It gives you the freedom to drive down the road wherever you wish to go. Food, clothes, shelters, IT, automotive are important part of our lives. We cannot be satisfied our lives without of these necessities.
Car Life could be viewed as a part of lives.
What is comfortable home, fine dining, hobbies, and work mean to you? In order to achieve better life, people seek for the “luxury” that suit them.
So how do we see the “luxury” in our vehicles today?
We have gone through the significant improvement of the automotive as the worldwide mass production enables to obtain its high performance. However, this gradually took away the individuality of the vehicles from the owners.
The craftsmanship plays the major role in creating the brand value of the automotive by sustaining the individuality with the highly detailed attention with the respect to the luxury. This polished craftsmanship is crystalized with individuality and highly detailed craftsmanship.
Kiwakoto ensures to bring you the value from the individuality and the highly detailed craftsmanship.
The individuality and highly detailed craftsmanship come from Kyoto which was Japan’s capital for a thousand years. These tradition and craftsmanship are nurture throughout the history. We bring the birth to the “Car Life” revolved around a city where craftsmanship endures.
Kiwakoto is a brand revolved around the true craftsmanship. We plan and develop the products, manufacture, and effectively develop the sales channels.
