Crafts are nurtured by the climate of each region and are produced using traditional techniques and techniques. These crafts have been passed down through generations, and their techniques and designs have a long history.
In order to widely disseminate the Japanese crafts and specialty products that were born in this way, jac works in partnership with workshops and factories that produce products in each region, and local stores, and operates in cooperation with each other. This is an online shop. Through jac, we hope to contribute in some small way to preserving traditional crafts and revitalizing the towns of each region.
At jac, we have several ways to shop. One is mail order using jac's EC site. The second is shopping at partner stores where you can touch and experience the real thing. It is also possible to ship to your home overseas in some countries and at some partner stores. In addition, if you forget to buy something at a partner store, regret that you should have bought it after all, or want to place a repeat order, you can order it from JAC's e-commerce site. We will continue to strive to smoothly deliver local traditions and heartfelt products to our customers' daily lives.
- Focusing on the region's unique culture and history
- The reason for starting the site was that through my main trading business, I felt that Japanese crafts were still not well known. Crafts develop in close connection with the climate of each region, and each region has its own unique characteristics. That's why there are so many different types of crafts. We thought that by carefully introducing these features, we could increase interest not only from overseas and inbound tourists, but also within Japan.
- Start from Kanazawa
- The site started from the Kanazawa area, which I had a personal connection with. In the future, we plan to expand the target area to the Hokuriku and Chubu regions. When managing a site, we place emphasis on the uniqueness of the area. We plan to sell not only crafts but also specialty products such as food. We would also like to introduce tourist spots, rest areas, and people typical of the area.
- Are you coming from overseas to shop?
- jac not only introduces products, but also introduces each workshop, store, and region. You can also buy it at japanese-arts-crafts.com. You can also go directly to the partner store and buy it. This sales style is one of the features of our site. People who see jac overseas come to Japan to visit the store that was introduced. I would like to grow this site into something like that.
