Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,
After you place an order and proceed the checkout, if you see our payment screen in Japanese, not in English, please have a try and click the payment link that you will find in your order confirmation email twice. Then, in the second time click and transit to the payment screen, the screen will be displayed in English. This Japanese language screen doesn't happen all the time, but some customers kindly reported to us.
Since our web site is configured in English, the payment screen should be displayed in English..
I called up PayPal Japan support team today, and have found this is the issue that PayPal is working on for a while, but that they have not come up to the final resolution yet. Other workaround I am taught from PayPal support is to delete cookies of the browser on PC.
Sorry for this inconvenience and we hope these workarounds will be acceptable for you for a meanwhile. Thank you for your corporation!
Thank you very much for taking your time to read this article.

Kakejiku scroll painting added
Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,
Kakejiku are Japanese traditional scroll paintings with designed entities that have been believed lucky for years. These entities are typically cranes, koi fishes, monkeys, pine trees, plum trees, bamboo, peony, lotus flower, and Mt Fuji. By displaying Kakejiku inside living room, people feel lucky. So, Kakejiki are beyond art and are something that bring fortune to home and family.
For overseas customers, we recommend to display them for wall arts.
To display Kakejiki, just hang the painting on the wall with the string attached on the top. It is the same as ordinary painting except that the dimensions are 44.5 cm W X 175 cm L (17 1/2"W X 69"L).
If you are interested in, please visit Kakejiki category here.

New Sensu folding fans added
Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,
We added 6 new lineup of sensu folding fans. 4 sensu are ladies' fans and 2 for gentlemen. Ladies' fans are a little smaller than these for gentlemen. The classification between ladies' fans and gentleman's fans come from Japanese living culture and the ladies' fans printed design tend to be flowers and the background color for ladies tend to be subtle. However if you wish to utilise sensu for home decor, it doesn't matter whether the item is originally designed for ladies or men's.
How about adding sensu fans to your interior?

Ten'mari - handmade balls for your collection
Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,
We have refilled stock of handmade "ten'mari" balls. Nice for your home decor, and for your art collection. Please visit ten'maru category here.
They are all hand-stitched with lots of work. All design motifs come from the nature image where the ball is made - mainly flowers and trees grown in the region.
We spent lots of time to establish direct relationship with these ten'mari artisans. Quite unique art products hardly found at other places!

New craftsman's bag added
Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com
We added three leather bags. These bags are handmade by a craftsman named Shitata-san. I got to know him through an introduction by a tenugui factory manager. Shitata-san live in Sendai city (where a huge earthquake hit in March 2011), and his concept is to manufacture leather bags incorporated with Japanese traditional fabric such as Kimono obi (silk belt) and furoshiki wrapping cloth.
Shibata-san's carrier is unique. He once belonged to Japan air force as a pilot, and then worked for Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. as a helicopter test pilot. He has been creating leather bags off work as an armature. Recently he turns into professional bag craftsman.
These bags are quite unique, beautiful and eye-catching!
