Our Mission
We are dedicated to preserving Japanese handmade ceramics for future generations through an online marketplace where even the smallest producers can engage consumers around the world and grow their business.
We will appeal to a common passion for art, culture, and tradition.
We will become experts in Japanese ceramics, an authority on industry issues and trends, and a leading voice for the Japanese artisan.
Discover an Ancient Art
In 14,000 BC, Jōmon potters gave Japan its first pure art. In the 17th century, Japanese porcelain transformed the European ceramics industry.
Explore a tradition as distinct and essential to Japanese culture as the tea ceremony, cherry blossoms, and Zen gardens.
Carrying the Legacy
The Japanese are famous for their ingenuity, discipline, work ethic, and dedication to quality. Equally renowned is their resilience, fortitude, and can-do spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Learn more about the men and women keeping their craft alive despite a devastated domestic market and an uncertain future.
Tradition on the Brink
