About Us
When you think of Japanese products, what comes to mind? Not too long ago, there was a strong impression of industrial products like automobiles and electronics, and more recently, manga and anime may come to mind. Despite strong impressions of these items, there's another cultural gem we proudly showcase: traditional Japanese crafts.
Traditional Japanese crafts were originally everyday tools. But over centuries these tools were refined, and evolved beyond their practical use. Now they have become objects of beauty, and are considered pieces of art. Deeply influenced by the Japanese lifestyle, history, and nature, these crafts embody the essence of our culture.
Our artisans have preserved these skills through generations, from the era of samurais and ninjas to the present. Today, traditional techniques blend with modern technology, elevating these crafts in new ways. Despite their availability in Japan, geographical and language barriers often make it challenging for enthusiasts to access them overseas.
That’s why we founded Ka-Cho-Fu-Getsu: a curated selection of Japanese traditional crafts, accessible globally. We offer both contemporary and antique items, meticulously selected to ensure authenticity— no cheap imitations. Our mission is to provide a platform where anyone can own, appreciate, and understand the rich history and craftsmanship of these items.
