Factory

Factory founder
Our shoe-making journey started in a small 10-tatami-mat workshop with 2 people.
The philosophy passed down from its founding is “make a good pair of shoes that can be loved for a long time”.
Our comfortable shoes that have been made individually with care have become popular and we now have many fans and repeat customers.
Local manufacturing.
Passing on our techniques and our thoughts from generation to
generation, we aim for a utopia of creating things.
As many
factories move their production bases overseas, we value local manufacturing
here.
No matter how much things change, we won’t be manufacturing anywhere but here.
The reason
we can, at this moment, provide everyone with time that leads to contentment
through shoes from this place is because our predecessors have protected the
art of shoe-making in this place.
We are
aiming for a similar type of manufacturing to that of luxury watches in
Switzerland.
Children
who watch their parents working hard and taking pride in creating something
want to be like that and go into manufacturing themselves.
Then, what
is passed on is technique and history as well as universal values which are an
invisible philosophy.
It is
brightway’s mission to create this kind of utopia of creation.
Our vision
We have
been creating shoes for half a century and we have a favour to ask.
We hope the
people who wear our shoes will have a brightway future.
At the same
time, we also hope that we, the shoemakers, will be content.
We are
proud of creating shoes here in this place out of all the places shoes are made
in the world.
Passing on
our techniques and our thoughts from generation to generation, we dream of a
utopia of creating things.
Once more
today, we will carefully make each individual pair of shoes.
