In order to build a peaceful world, it is very important for Japan to promote mutual understanding with foreign countries. As a bridge between Japanese people and people from overseas, we have been holding cultural events to introduce the unique Japanese culture, which has a long history, to people overseas and allow them to actually experience it. It is always popular to enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets after learning the meaning of tea ceremony etiquette and actually try on a kimono. Manga is a popular form of Japanese culture, but we also want people to know about the unique traditional culture of Japan.

Due to the prolonged pandemic caused by COVID 19, it has become impossible to hold events overseas. Under these circumstances, we have opened the online store Waka in order to bring Japanese culture closer to people overseas. We will not only sell modern, traditional crafts with the fragrance of Japanese culture, but also introduce their history and usage. There is still a unique culture in Japan that is not yet known, and we will gradually introduce it to you.

We hope that you will visit Waka and find your favorite goods.
