About Art Sword Japan

Protecting Tradition and Culture

“Art Sword Japan” has started based on the requirements of our customers.
Art Sword Japan’s most important objective is to protect the traditions of Japanese sword making.

There are three problems for many Japanese artisans.

1. Most of them don’t speak English.
2. Most of them are not familiar with online world.
3. Most of them are not familiar with exporting (international shipping and custom clearance).

Japan has a notable lack of people with proficiency in foreign languages and the online world among artisans involved in producing traditional crafts. Moreover, while the traditional craft industry as a whole is adapting to a new generation of artisans, the issues of providing opportunities to learn about languages or the online world remain practically difficult for this group of people, who should be focusing on developing their human resources.

In many cases, these are issues common to the Japanese traditional craft industry as a whole, where corporate organization remains static.
