Bringing the appeal of traditional Japanese crafts to the world 

Takumi Japan website, which delivers traditional Japanese crafts to the world, was completely renewed and reopened in November 2023. 

With that, we will start a blog. 

Through the latest news from the store, introductions of products and artisans, and information related to crafts, we will post to help answer your concerns and enrich your minds and lives. 

Delivering traditional Japanese techniques and the passion of artisans 

In this day and age, it is easy to obtain inexpensive, lovely, and functional items due to mass production and manufacturing in countries with low labor costs. 

On the other hand, there are those that require a high level of skill and are carefully crafted by artisans who put their heart and soul into each piece, taking their time and care. 

Takumi Japan introduces such works and also conveys the appeal of artisans who are working hard to create things while inheriting traditional techniques.

We also provide multilingual support and overseas delivery services with the hope of conveying this appeal to people not only in Japan but also around the world. 

For gifts, hospitality, and mindful living 

Nowadays, a lifestyle of buying, consuming, and discarding easily mass-produced, inexpensive goods has become commonplace. 

But just in this era —— 

Why not choose something special once in a while? 

If you get a one-of-a-kind item that is a bit pricey, one that is made with the thought of a master craftsman, it will surely change your daily life and feelings. 

Carefully handle your favorite cup, savor a cup of tea while enjoying its texture, and take a nice picture to upload on social media. 

Such time will surely enrich your heart.

Also, if you make it a gift for someone important or use it for hospitality, it will be remembered and the conversation will be lively. 

There will be different communication and deeper relationships. 

Sell things that can't be thrown away by minimalists 

Nowadays, the term "minimal living" has become commonplace, and many people are giving away their personal belongings one after another. 

But I hope the works you buy at Takumi Japan are not something you give up, but something you keep. Yes, I believe it's something that will not be left behind. 

Through our blog, we will continue to post our thoughts and information that can help you.
