Brief history
Cherishing the craftsmanship of artisans, we display and sell high quality craft products that enable the user to incorporate the value of craftsmanship into everyday life. Under the theme “From Ishikawa to the World,” we provide captivating items from across Japan and around the world.
We also introduce artists whose works are based on traditions but created with original vision.
We propose to enrich people’s lives by, for example, experiencing the pleasure of using authentic craft products in their own way or experiencing the joy of giving such products to someone special.
