Meet the makers

Nemoto Glass

The Nemoto glass-making tradition arose in the wake of post-war Japan, and has grown to be an important cornerstone of the Edo kiriko class of artisans. Kosho Nemoto's glasses have served the Japanese Imperial Family and earned him the Medal of Honor with the Yellow Ribbon by the Japanese government. His craft is endured by his son and grandson.

HASHITOU-HONTEN

HASHITOU-HONTEN has over 100 years of tradition behind its creation and curation of delicate handmade wooden chopsticks.

Togoro

Togoro has a beautiful shop in Gojyobashi, Kyoto, with a wide range of well curated Kyo-yaki and Shimizu-yaki plateware, which both have 400 years of long history.

“monoya is a super enabler.
I only gave them a wishlist, but they came back very quickly with high value artisanal products which I had no access to”

Founder's note

My mission is to remove the barrier between Japan's storied makers and global businesses looking to bring delight, unmistakable quality, and tradition to their customers. Having spent half of my life in the US and the other half in Japan, I am deeply familiar with the shared value waiting to be unlocked by a better bridge, unrestrained by the boundaries of lanugage, culture, or distance. monoya is here to be that bridge.
