About Us

We are nihon no Kodawari. 

Our company was founded in collaboration with the Japanese artists and creators featured on our site.

We provide a platform for each of our partners to introduce themselves and their creations to enable them to reach a wider audience. 

Each piece is handmade and unique, and we hope you can find something you can display, wear, or use with pride.
