Hello, this is Éditions Komorebi

Komorebi (木漏れ日)

This Japanese word evokes the poetic image of sunlight filtering through leaves and branches. It reflects Éditions Komorebi's mission to take the time to appreciate the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Wakagi (若木)

The tree depicted in the logo is Wakagi - the sapling engraved on the Japanese 1-yen coin. While it is a common sight in daily life, few people know that Wakagi is actually a fictional tree, designed to symbolise growth, potential and hope for the future. (Logo design for Éditions Komorebi: Akira Nemoto).
