~ Emotions are born from uniqueness~

How many times in our lifetime can we be truly moved?

Modern society has achieved economic growth while also benefiting from rationality.

We believe that uniqueness is essential for us to live richly as human beings.

Sometimes, in not rationality things, there are hidden things that give us unexpected discoveries and joys, and enrich our hearts.

The traditional Japanese crafts we deal with have "uniqueness to be proud of. Behind each piece is a delicate and enormous amount of handwork. The unique culture and individuality of the creator exudes from these detailed processes, creating a one-of-a-kind beauty.

 The spirit of the craftsman who insists on traditional beauty and technique rather than rationalization is also woven into the work. We would be very happy if we could help enrich your heart and add color to your life by bringing Japanese traditional crafts to as many people as possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 We want to connect Japanese culture to tomorrow

Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, has devoted itself to building a lasting society and company.

The Omi merchants of Shiga Prefecture have coexisted and co-prospered with each other in the spirit of " Sanpo-yoshi," or "good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for the seller's company.

Many Japanese people have been striving for perpetuity since ancient times with wisdom passed down from our ancestors.

KATARIBE HARMONY also hopes to learn from the way of life of our ancestors, and strongly hopes to help Japanese traditional crafts and culture develop in a lasting way.

We also hope to not only pass on the old, but also to discover and transmit new values from them.
