Japanese crafts are nurtured by the local environment of each region and are produced with traditional techniques and methods. Behind each craft lies a long history of techniques and designs, passed down through generations.
jac is an online shop partnered with studios, factories, and local stores in each region to widely promote the crafts and specialty products from Japan. Our goal is to contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts and revitalize the local community where the crafts are born.
We offer several shopping methods at jac. One is online shopping using this website. The second is shopping at actual partner stores where you can touch and experience the products. Some partner stores also offer international shipping service of purchased products. If you forget to buy something, or regret not purchasing something at a partner store, you can always return and order through our online shopping site. We strive to smoothly deliver local products with tradition and charm to your daily lives.
- Focusing on unique regional culture and history
- Through our trading business, we realized that Japanese crafts are still not widely known. Crafts are deeply rooted in the regional local environment, and each region has its own unique characteristics. That is why there are so many diverse crafts. By carefully introducing unique characteristics, we hope to increase interest not only from overseas and inbound travelers but also from domestic customers.
- Starting from Kanazawa
- We started from Kanazawa, where we had a personal connection. In the future, we plan to expand our target regions to the Hokuriku and Chubu regions. We strongly value unique characteristics of each region. We plan to sell not only crafts but also specialty food products. Additionally, we would like to introduce tourist spots, places to relax, and local people from each region.
- Visit Japan for shopping and experiences!
- At jac, we not only sell products but also introduce studios, stores, and regions where products are born. You can either enjoy shopping at japanese-arts-crafts.com or directly visit our partner stores. We hope to enhance both online shopping and actual shopping experience. We hope to cultivate a site where customers who discover jac will come over to Japan to visit the recommended stores.
