FAQ

What is KURA and what makes it unique?

KURA connects global buyers with authentic Japanese crafts, sourced directly from the country’s skilled artisans and regional studios.

Each item is shipped directly from Japan, from the region or studio where it was crafted.

We offer reliable worldwide shipping. Delivery times vary by region, but all orders are tracked for your peace of mind.

Preserving Japan, Sharing the Future

KURA’s mission is to act as a modern bridge between the world and Japan’s rich traditions, from the hands of artisans to temples and forests. Every visitor discovers more than products—they encounter stories and heritage.

KURA focuses on five essential elements: traditional crafts reborn, living cultural heritage, fine and applied arts, timeless architecture, and the beauty of Japan’s natural landscapes.

By nurturing respect for legacy while advancing access, KURA invites a new generation to connect with Japan’s soul—treasuring yesterday and inspiring tomorrow.

KURA invites artisans and creators across five distinct domains - traditional crafts, fine arts, architecture, nature-based culture, and festivals - to join our mission. Showcase your legacy and artistry to the world.

Producer's Message

KURA is a foothold—
a gentle yet resolute beginning.

You being here means more than you know.
Your presence alone stirs us to action.
It awakens the power to rewrite what once seemed inevitable—
to trace a path not from Edo to war,
but from Meiji to peace.

Through your hands, history moves.
This is not merely shopping.
You are stepping into the story as an Inheritor
one who bears the past and shapes what remains.

Thank you for joining us on this quiet revolution.
