DIARGE is based in Taito-ku, Tokyo.
Taito Ward is the smallest of the 23 wards of Tokyo, but it has the face of a tourist destination with a historic downtown area of Ueno and Asakusa, and is represented by Tokyo University of the Arts and the Tokyo National Museum. It has the face of a city of art, and is also an area where leather, shoes / kimono, bags, accessories, metal accessories, etc. are actively produced.
Since ancient times, as one of the centers of commerce and industry since the Edo period, the population and industry are highly concentrated, and relatively small-scale handicrafts and manufacturing industries.
It has developed as an agglomeration of wholesalers and wholesalers responsible for the distribution of the products they manufacture.
From the Meiji era to the mid-1930s, Taito Ward was also a transportation hub, with various processing factories lined up along the Sumida River.
The people working there lived in the neighborhood, forming a community close to work and residence.
Various imported goods are gathered from the advantage of land transportation and water transportation, processing, manufacturing and wholesale of leather, shoes, bags, metal accessories, stationery, jewelry, etc. are concentrated, and it also interacts with the distribution network of Buddhist equipment etc. that has continued since the Edo period. The manufacturing and distribution network has been developed so that factories in each field, craftsmen, material stores, and wholesalers complement each other.
In addition, the industry in Taito Ward is traditional commercial areas such as Nihonbashi and Ginza, and the wholesale district at the relay point.
It is characterized by having a direct connection and domestic industrial characteristics.
In Taito Ward, which has such a historical background, the main materials and parts that make up DIARGE products such as leather and brass are familiar.
It is easy to procure, and there is a human network of craftsmen involved in processing,
It is possible to flexibly plan and manufacture base metal products and leather products with high quality and rich texture.

We want to be a color that enriches the lifestyles of people around the world by one millimeter both physically and mentally.
