Shiseido was founded in 1872, four years after the Meiji Restoration. Arinobu Fukuhara, former head pharmacist to the Japanese navy, opened Japan's first private western style pharmacy on the Ginza, the cultural and fashion hub of Japan.
The foundation of Shiseido laid over a century ago, its pioneering spirit that combines eastern aesthetics with western science and business technology, continues to live on today to serve as the underlying philosophy of Shiseido's corporate activities.
Besides, Shiseido eyewear is a worldwide famous brand. Each pair of Shiseido optical frame and sunglasses incorporates aspects of art nouveau, art deco culture, best quality and stylish design.
