From crafts rooted in Japanese traditions and one-of-a-kind pieces by artists, to products reflecting cutting-edge technology or the design trends of the time, the Japanese passion for monozukuri*, meaning craftsmanship, has continued to evolve with the times. We would like to share with you the pleasure and beauty of functional everyday Japanese products.

* monozukuri: mono means ‘thing’; zukuri means 'making'. This word stands for the concept and the spirit of making and craftsmanship, including handmade crafts and large-scale manufacturing.

We introduce authentic Japanese food culture, including food, drink, kitchen utensils and tableware according to the seasons. From across Japan, we have selected a variety of dishes, plates, bowls and utensils made by prominent artisans.
