Kalin Ned — February 6, 2022 — Art & Design
A range of Japanese handmade goods is spotlighted as part of a virtual marketplace, titled "Showcase: Japan." The objects are said to "blend modern design with traditional Japanese craft." Such a design approach is quite popular in the contemporary setting when many individuals want to remain on the cutting-edge of design but lust a nostalgic feel.
The virtual marketplace is organized by JETRO, the Japan External Trade Organization, in partnership with the Shoppe Object marketplace. There is a total of 24 Japanese brands featured in the round-up. Among the items on display are cozy homeware, stylish accessories, and options that will make for great gifts to family and friends. From candles and makeup brushes to dresses "colored from shibori dye" and glassware, the curated collection of Japanese handmade goods is interesting to browse.
