【The story behind the birth of "Ryusen logo symbol of a dragon"】

Thank you very much for always reading our posts. We have reached over 10,000 followers! We are grateful to all the people who have supported us.

I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you the thought I put into "our logo symbol of a dragon."
In its 70 years of history, Ryusen Hamono has pioneered the commercialization of multi-layered stainless steel products in the production area and has expanded its production scale by entering the field of kitchen knives for general household use. In 2013, the company decided to move away from OEM and establish its own brand, focusing on the development and manufacturing of high-quality, highly unique RYUSEN brand knives to meet customer needs. Looking back, I believe that this initiative proved to be an important turning point for the company's subsequent growth.

Strangely enough, at that time, I had a vision in my mind of "a dragon god soaring powerfully high into the sky from a sacred spring, clutching a Nyoi Hoju (Cintamani stone) to fulfill people's wishes."

I wanted to create a logo that embodied the image of that dragon and the company's philosophy. The current Ryusen logo was created in 2014 based on my poor hand-drawn design proposal. The "droplet pattern" inside the dragon in the logo represents two concepts: "the flame of enthusiasm for craftsmanship of our craftsmen" and "a sparkling droplet entrusted to the earth by a dragon ascending to the heavens."

We realize that we still have many areas to improve on, and we will continue to strive for quality improvement and careful handwork so that we can create products that will be a part of our customers' daily lives and loved for a long time in future. We appreciate your continued support.
