Our Story

Embrace Japan’s heritage with handpicked masterpieces delivered to your door.

Japan Objects began in 2018 as a cultural magazine, driven by a passion for Japan’s artisanal traditions. As our vision grew, we launched a curated online store to offer culture lovers around the world access to Japan’s finest creations.

Our mission is simple: to preserve Japan’s timeless arts while empowering artisans to flourish. By connecting you with these exceptional pieces, we ensure that local craftspeople can continue to thrive. Every object in our store is a living story, a tangible connection to Japan’s culture that you can hold in your hands.

Why Choose Japan Objects?

We take great care in selecting the finest, officially recognized traditional crafts. Our curatorial process is hands-on: we personally visit artisans across Japan, learning their stories and understanding their techniques. Each piece is handpicked for its story, tradition, and masterful craftsmanship, ensuring only the best make it into our collection.

Our range includes rare ceramics, handcrafted futon and tatami, exquisite gifts, and authentic kimono. As a licensed kimono dealer, we work closely with respected makers to bring you beautiful, high-quality kimono at accessible prices. Each product is chosen for its authenticity, quality, and cultural significance—making Japan Objects not only a place to shop but a trusted source for genuine Japanese art.

We are dedicated to supporting the artisans who keep Japan’s traditions alive. All our products are made in Japan, and we work directly with craftspeople to ensure fair compensation. Many of these artisans are fourth- or fifth-generation masters, honing their skills over centuries. By sharing their work with a global audience, we help sustain their livelihoods and preserve the integrity of their craft. Every purchase you make directly supports these artisans and their communities, making your experience more than just a transaction—it’s a meaningful step in keeping Japan’s heritage alive.
