A Japanese General Store for Simple & Beautiful Living
About Michi Shoten
We work with brands from around the world that are committed to thoughtful craftsmanship, bringing tools and items that support simple, enriched living to people throughout Japan.
Centered primarily in America, Europe, and the Nordic countries, we carefully select products that feature beautiful designs harmonious with nature, materials that are gentle to both people and the environment, and are imbued with the makers’ heartfelt intentions.
What we hold dear is not simply delivering “beautiful things,” but expanding choices that are kind to our future planet and the next generation. Selecting environmentally conscious products and supporting sustainable living is also part of Michi Shoten’s mission.
Modern yet somehow nostalgic—we wish to bring that “sense of inner harmony and calm” into daily life.
“Creating paths,” “connecting paths,” and “challenging the unknown”—these thoughts are also embedded in the name Michi Shoten.
To those who live their days with care and intention: We would be honored to help you discover new encounters with “good things” that gently accompany your life.
