Kogei Japonica Launches New Support Services
Kogei Japonica has launched a new range of support services for businesses, municipalities, craft-related organizations, artists and craftspeople.
Building on our editorial work and ongoing collaboration across the craft sector, we have organized a broader support framework covering business registration, market development and marketing, product development with artists and studios, corporate craft rental, artist and craftsperson registration, and sales and distribution support.
Alongside our role as a media platform introducing Japanese craft to audiences in Japan and overseas, we aim to create practical connections between makers, businesses, municipalities, local communities and audiences, helping craft, skills and ideas move toward new opportunities and markets.
Support for Businesses, Municipalities and Craft-Related Organizations
We provide support for businesses, municipalities and craft-related organizations seeking to incorporate Japanese craft into business, products, regional initiatives and spatial environments.
- Registration for studios, kilns, craft manufacturers, regional organizations, municipalities and related businesses
- Market development and marketing support for craft and regional products
- Product development and creative projects with artists, craftspeople and studios
- Corporate craft rental for hotels, offices, retail spaces and other venues

Support for Artists and Craftspeople
For artists and craftspeople, we provide support designed to help their work and skills reach new audiences, markets and opportunities through sales, editorial coverage, product development and collaboration with companies and brands.
Registration and a basic profile listing are free of charge and subject to review.
Depending on the maker’s practice and the relevance of individual projects, opportunities may include product sales, media coverage, product development, exhibitions, spatial installations, demonstrations and workshops.
Our scope is not limited to holders of official traditional craft qualifications or makers affiliated with designated production regions. We also welcome practices that inherit, interpret or develop techniques, materials and cultural contexts rooted in Japanese traditional craft.

Supporting What Comes After “Telling the Story”
Kogei Japonica is not only focused on communicating the appeal of craft through media.
Where appropriate, we also support what comes next: sales, market development, collaboration with companies, product development, and the use of craft within regional initiatives and physical spaces.
Our goal is to connect the works, techniques, materials, experience and cultural knowledge of makers with the needs of businesses and municipalities in areas such as product development, retail, spatial design and regional projects.
Moving forward, we will continue to expand connections among makers, businesses, municipalities, local communities, galleries, cultural organizations and research institutions in Japan and overseas, creating new opportunities for collaboration across regions and borders.
Carrying the value of Japanese craftsmanship forward for the next 100 years — together with the world.
Kogei Japonica will continue creating new connections and opportunities between those who make craft and those who need, value and use it.
