About Us
Our Journey
Fumu’s story begins with my journey to Japan, where I set out to learn the art of shoemaking. I spent nearly a decade there, perfecting my craft under the guidance of master craftsmen namely Noriyuki Misawa, Kiyo Udagawa and Yohei Fukuda.
It was during this time that I discovered "monotsukuri"—the art of making things. Beyond the literal meaning, it taught me dedication, continuous improvement, and the pursuit of mastery. For me, work became more than a task. It became a way of life, filled with joy, fulfillment, and endless discovery.
This journey sparked something deeper - a desire to inspire others to step out of their comfort zones and embrace the unknown. At Fumu, we believe every pair of shoes tells a story, and every step is an opportunity to explore, grow, and find inspiration in everyday moments.
