The incense of Awaji Island and the matches of Harima: These two traditional industries of Hyogo Prefecture first encountered each other in 2011. The collaboration started with the idea of an incense that could be lit like striking a match and was followed by 3 years of trial and error., An aromatic product with properties of strength and fragrance was developed, which did not break even when struck like a match.   The names of products and packaging were developed to convey the sensibility of today’s Japan. All those things were ‘designs’ to create a new way of enjoying fragrance.   The brand name hibi means ‘day to day’, or daily, in Japanese. It was given with the hope that you would keep it around you every day and freely enjoy its fragrance, matching each day’s mood or occasion. The logo’s design combines two of the Chinese character ‘日’ (day) set next to each other.

Since its establishment in 1950, the Midori brand has been popular with many customers and has produces many hit products and long sellers. In addition to sophisticated designs, Midori manufactures goods that combine both beauty and functionality by paying special attention to beauty and materials used.

Midori has excelled in stationery items that reflect the very tranquil and ‘zen’ side of Japan with top selling series as TRAVELER’S notebook, KRAFT envelopes and BRASS stationery, which are now all part of the separate brand TRAVELER’S Company, as well the colorful and playful ‘pop’-items that reflect the “Kawai” side of Japan, such as the D-Clips and the various sticky notes, some of them receiving design awards.

Besides the top-notch designs, we admire the quality and dedication that are put in designing the items, as well as executing them. There is so much attention in the details of the packaging, that unwrapping the items alone is already a big treat. Midori items are truly a bliss to work with and we are convinced your customers will love them too!

Founded by Haruo Ito in 1938, ITO Bindery traded as a simple bookbinding business named Hakucho-do. When the business passed to Ito’s son, Toshio, in the late 1980s, the business changed a little too, adopting its current name.

It wasn’t until 2009 that ITO Bindery began developing the notepads that we know and love today, but they were almost immediate successes. Their sobriety belies a deft originality, the kind that comes from following an idea from beginning to end with thought and method.
