Seasons Greeting

Seasons Greeting from www.nipponcraft.com
I wish you happy holidays and a happy new year 2012.

Since we opened our web shop in March 2011 for international customers, our mission is to bridge the Japanese cultures and the world.
Nowadays you will find some Japanese shops and web shops in every nation and it has become easier to buy Japanese goods. However, our job is to continue to look for something Japanese traditional that you may not find in your countries.

One of the items not prevalent in the world yet I believe is Nishijin-ori fabric. These fabrics are woven by the traditional techniques developed since the 15th century in Kyoto. ("Nishijin" is the name of a district in Kyoto and "Ori" means weaving.)
Nishijin-ori fabric has a reputation of high qualities and it is used for kimonos, neckties, wallets and various interior products.
This time we have genuine products directly from Nishijin-ori weaver in Kyoto.
