One is the Japanese word matou\, which refers to clothes softly draping or wrapping the body. \n\n\n\nThe other is matou\, the volitional form of the Japanese verb for wait (matsu) with the meaning of “let’s wait.” Instead of consuming and discarding things\, matohu calls on people to wait until their own sense of aesthetics has matured. \n\n\n\nWith the concept of creating new clothes that sustain the Japanese sense of aesthetics\, matohu offers designs born from the history\, culture\, and terroir of Japan in original styles authentic to the Japanese experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirector Profile: \n\n\n\n\n©GROUP GENDAI FILMS CO.\, LTD.\n\n\n\n\nBorn ​1974 in Japan.
