Yumiko Sekine started her first business in 1993 importing used books and housewares from Europe and America to Japan. In her search for more products, she could not find affordable every day linens that she had used during her childhood.

She visited Lithuania, a country that grows flax, whose fibers are spun into linen, and has been producing and exporting linen products to other European countries since the Middle Ages. This led her to contact several linen producers and started to have them produce her own product designs in Lithuania.
