Brand Tone

Artistic & Appreciative, Modern & Expressive, Potentially Spiritual/Mystical, Direct & Informative

Brand Values

• •Cultural Appreciation
• •Self-Expression
• •Artistic Design
• •Uniqueness/Niche
• •Customer Clarity

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly define the brand's personality, tone words (e.g., "Respectful," "Artistic," "Modern," "Intriguing"), and a "we are/we are not" list (e.g., "We are appreciative, not appropriative"; "We are artistic, not cartoonish").
• •Immerse in the Subject: Ensure copywriters have a good understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture and the specific symbolism used in designs to write authentically and respectfully.
• •Consistency Across Platforms: Use the same core tone and language style on the website, in product descriptions, email communications, and any future social media or advertising.
• •Focus on Storytelling: Connect products to the cultural narratives or artistic inspiration behind them. This reinforces the value of cultural appreciation and artistic design.
• •Address a Dual Audience (if applicable): If the brand continues to offer both artistic merchandise and spiritual readings, the copy needs to find a way to either seamlessly integrate these diverse offerings under a common umbrella theme (e.g., "Discover Inner and Outer Beauty Inspired by the East") or create distinct yet harmonious communication styles for each segment, ensuring clarity and avoiding customer confusion. Be mindful of how these two aspects are presented together to maintain a cohesive brand perception.
