KEIF / Company
株式会社景譜
KEIF, Inc.
What we make is uniforms, and their records. But what we want to leave behind is the system: a way to check, later, who made something, where and from what — and for it to keep circulating after it's used. We are building it now so that it doesn't end with our generation.
Uniforms — made, presented, managed. Every product we deliver comes with a Digital Product Passport as its manufacturing record.
Vision — the meaning of our name
Building, in our generation, a system that can be left for the next.
We see a supply chain as one kei (景) — a landscape. Fu (譜) is what writes it down, like a musical score or a family tree: a record you can read back later. Our English name, KEIF, is simply the Japanese reading in Roman letters.
A landscape is not only what lies in front of us now. It holds a long history. Someone tilled the soil, someone spun the yarn, someone wrote the method down. Industry is the same. Someone builds the foundations, and long after their names are forgotten, the system keeps working. We stand on the work of the people who came before us.
What we will write into this record is not only about us. It is the work of the people who spun, sewed and repaired — and what the companies whose people wear these garments leave to society through their business.
Today's apparel industry isn't built to keep records, or to return garments to material once they're used. We are rebuilding everything from how materials are chosen to how they are taken back, and handing that system to the next generation — doing the work ourselves and carrying it forward. The name 景譜 stands for that resolve.
Values
Principles
We decide how we work as carefully as what we do. It's where we return when we're unsure.
We don't fill unmeasured numbers with plausible estimates. If we can't show something, we say so.
We don't stop at the sale. We leave records and systems in a form the next person can use.
Employees, business partners, local communities and the natural environment — weighted equally with our purpose since founding.

History
How we got here, and what's next.
KEIF is a new company, but it didn't start from zero. Behind it are years of experience on the uniform factory floor, and the trials of sukui, the medical wear brand produced by Hasegawa — work recognized in Japan and abroad, including two German awards. KEIF was founded on the system proven there.
