10th Anniversary

Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,

Today March 3rd is our 10th anniversary for www.nipponcraft.com. 

When we opened our web-shop in March 2011, we had the huge earthquake and the tsunami hit the east cost of Japan. And, from last year to now, we are having tough time with corona pandemic.  I am hoping better future will come soon. Or maybe, we are undergoing some sort of a paradigm shift?

I know that each nation has its own history, culture and human lives. Everyone is proud of his/her own culture. Through understanding and respecting each other's nation and culture, the world will be more peaceful and balanced. A traveling is surely one of the best ways to understand a foreign country and culture, but it is hard now under the corona. A shopping traditional items and touching them and feeling them is other option.  And we are providing traditional items made with craftsmen's spirits.

Today is also "Hina-Matsuri" (ひな祭り) day for kids for wishing them to grow healthy.


We hope everyone stays safe and healthy under the corona.

Thank you for visiting our blog.

A Happy New Year!

 Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,

We wish you a happy and healthy new year for 2021!

2020 was an unprecedented year and was a tough year for all.

May 2021 bring you goodness and prosperity.

On January 2, I visited a local port town called "Chosi" which is approx. 140km east of Tokyo. In the town, the fishermen flew colorful flags on their fishing boats for the  celebration of the new year. So that the fishermen's dream will fly high in the sky. And ours!
