My message through “Usaato” is
that we should all live more in harmony with nature,
more in resonance with the earth,
and more in resonance with the energy of the universe,
because, if so, we will be able to understand our true selves.
The expression of feelings is,
for some people, may be through music, dance, or food.
In my case,
I hope to convey the breath of nature
and love through our/ my/ Usaato’s clothes.
Our hearts are bound together and spun,
and then become a single thread that connects us all.
I aim to be a “helper” who delivers
such a “mass of energy” to everyone.
Thank you very much.

It is the cloth for Usaato clothes that the villagers in Thailand and Laos dye thread with natural dyes around them and weave the thread into cloth with handmade rustic waving machines.
They think what colors to dye and what patterns to weave.
We value not to match popular colors, designs nor standards, but to weave as they want to weave.
Beautiful cloth is the nature of the villages as it is, and the wisdom of living that has been passed down for a long time. The background and creativity of each weaver must also be there.
This cloth is collected in “USAATO SIAM,” the production base of Usaato clothes.
And there, clothes are made according to the design of SATO Usaburo so that the individuality of each cloth can be harnessed.
The flow from sewing to distribution is not stopped as much as possible, and many people work together to connect the benefits of the nature from hand to hand, and as a result, the clothes are created.
He was born in Hokkaido in 1948.
After working as a corporate designer in Tokyo, he engaged in the creation of haute couture in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
He traveled around the world in search of high-energy cloth from 1944 and moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand in 1996.
He has been designing the universal law with hand-spun thread, hand-woven and hand-dyed cloth with natural dyes, and created -Usaato Clothe- comfortable clothes felt like “wearing nature.”
