“How do I protect my son from UV rays?”
Immediately she started to search for UV protective clothing.
However, she was not able to find anything with good quality and efficiency. Finally, she found the UV cut material.

She thought, “If there is a UV cut material, I can protect my son from ultraviolet rays if I make outerwear with that fabric!” She decided
to found a company and to make available nationwide UV protection products with proven efficacy, quality, and comfort.
