Monozukuri

From crafts rooted in Japanese traditions and one-of-a-kind pieces by artists, to products reflecting innovative technology or the design trends of the time, the Japanese passion for monozukuri* has continued to evolve with the times. The Shop at Japan House London introduces a range of functional Japanese products which embody this passion and bring a sense of beauty to the everyday.

*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.
