NipponCraft 4th Birthday

Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com

Today March 3rd, we are celebrating NipponCraft 4th Birthday.  We deeply thank many customers visiting and shopping with NipponCarft.com.

We started NipponCraft.com on March 3rd 2011. 2011 was the year the huge earthquake hit the Tohoku and Fukushima -- we started just before the earthquake!

Also, today is Hina-Matsuri Day for wishing little girls happy and healthy growing. Families with little daughters often display Hina-Matsuri dolls at homes for wishing their happy days, and sometimes pink color Sakura-Mochi (rice cakes wrapped with salted sakura leaves) are eaten.

"Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan" tenugui stock finally refilled!

Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com

We would like to inform that the Kanji "Fu-rin-ka-zan" tenugui have been restocked. It took us about half a year to get these items from the maker in Gun'ma Prefecture, as the maker took this tenugui production schedule all behind to the end of the year.
These Kanji characters describe the four tactics that "Takeda Shingen" (1521-1573), the Sengoku (one century warring states period of 1500s) Daimyo (a land lord), adopted as his troop's battle standard.
We hope this tenugui will be suitable for a gift, too!
