We are proud to work with families and workshops all across Japan. Some are famous families whose names have existed through many generations and over hundreds of years, others are single maker businesses who may have only just started out.

We buy directly from our Makers (in person as much as we can) and can guarantee that everything you see on our site has been made in Japan, and we know exactly who made it and where it was made. Our Makers are the heart of our business and we strive to treat them fairly in a mutually beneficial relationship.
