This business is founded on Christian values. These values include compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12).

Respecting all people (1 Peter 2:17) is also very important to this business. This means that all customers can expect to be treated with dignity regardless of  race, gender, sexuality, political affiliation, age, ability, creed, faith or for any other aspect of their life. 

Ecology (Genesis 2:15) and ethics (Micah 6:8) are important to this business. While some products currently sold by this business are currently mass-produced, the movement towards ethical clothing is considered to be a high priority. So, as many mass-produced products as possible will be phased out over time. 

This business is strongly opposed to cultural appropriation. One of the key driving values of this business is to help non-Japanese people better understand kimono, and to protect kimono from going extinct. This means giving the creators of a garment the acknowledgement they deserve. It is the goal of this business to encourage mutual respect between all people (Revelation 7:9). 

I have been trying to make my work practices as ethical as possible. This includes:

- Carbon offsetting through ecologi_hq

- Buying most of my materials and supplies from charity stores ⁠or other reclaimed or small business sources.

- Posting through carbon-neutral services like Sendle or Australia Post.

- Packaging using reclaimed materials as often as possible.

- Keeping fabric scraps and recycling them as much as possible.

- Selling only items that are reclaimed, artisan-made, homemade, or manufactured in countries with good rights for workers.

- Donating a percentage of profits to charities such as World Vision or Crash Japan.

- Promoting intercultural values and understanding. - Encouraging the use of reusable products.

- Looking out for new ways to make lifestyles and business more ethical!

The aim is to look for ways that daily life can be improved through the use of guilt-free products; things you can use and enjoy without worrying about unjust practices or environmental impact. But I also like being able to talk to customers and custom-make things for them. I like the idea of making things that people will be able to love. ❤

This business acknowledges the traditional Aboriginal owners of Australia.
