We are a Japanese bedding manufacturer with a rich history of over 450 years, since our establishment in 1566 in the Ōmi* region in Japan.
Our core objective has always been to be a company cherished by all by actively contributing to the well-being of the community. Embedded in our ethos is the spirit of "sampo yoshi," a Japanese term that translates to "good in three ways," this concept signifies a triple win – benefitting the seller, the buyer, and society or the world at large. This guiding principle originates from the philosophy of the Ōmi merchants, where Nishikawa's roots are deeply intertwined. Handed down across generations, "sampo yoshi" serves as the foundational philosophy shaping our product planning, development, and sales methods. It is also a cornerstone in defining our relationships with customers and various stakeholders. This commitment to holistic well-being echoes throughout our practices, symbolizing our dedication to creating value for all involved parties and the broader community.
