The brand name “OMODAKA” is derived from the Japanese word for the perennial plant known as the threeleaf arrowhead. From summer through fall, the threeleaf arrowhead blooms quietly along shallow waterways. Despite its delicate appearance, with three pure white petals, it is also known as the “victory plant” because its leaves resemble arrowheads, and it has been adopted as a family crest by many military commanders. The subtle beauty and nobility inherent in culture. Just as the plant “threeleaf arrowhead” embodies these two facets, OMODAKA’s mission is to connect the lesser-known traditional crafts and aesthetic sensibilities from across Japan with contemporary lifestyles and sensibilities, and to share them with the world.

ブランド名の〈OMODAKA〉という名は多年草である「オモダカ」の和名に由来しています。
「オモダカ」は、夏から秋にかけて浅い水辺にひっそりと咲きます。3枚の純白の花びらを持つ可憐な姿とは裏腹に、矢尻に似た葉を持つことから「勝ち戦草」とも称され、武将たちの家紋にも選ばれてきました。文化に紐づく秘めやかな美しさと気高さ。その二面性を宿す「オモダカ」のように、まだ広く知られていない日本各地の手仕事と美意識に、現代の暮らしと感性を結び、世界に届けるのが〈OMODAKA〉のミッションです。
