This is the logo of his company.  There are Uniqlo stores all over the world, from New York to Shanghai,  from Australia to Russia.  His biggest overseas customers are the Chinese.

Typical Uniqlo store, with neatly folded clothes

This is the high tech special material used in many of his apparels
