Based in Osaka, we work directly with artisans across Japan to bring traditional crafts into everyday life.
What We Do
Through our brand “Manekineko Ai,” we introduce carefully selected pieces from Kyoto, Gifu, Ishikawa, and beyond. We focus on authentic Japanese work that meets the standards required by restaurants, hotels, and collectors.
Our Philosophy
Each item is selected with attention to quality, craftsmanship, and long-term usability. Each piece carries the spirit of its maker — something we believe cannot be replicated.
How We Work
Our business operates across multiple international platforms — our official online store, Amazon, Etsy, and eBay — allowing us to serve customers worldwide with reliable service and efficient logistics. All orders are shipped directly from Japan using trusted carriers such as DHL, FedEx, and Japan Post, with careful packaging and accurate handling to deliver each item safely.
We value clear communication, responsible business practices, and long-term relationships with both our customers and our artisan partners.
