Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO)

In Japan, an archipelago stretching from the white sand beaches of Okinawa to the snow-capped mountains of Hokkaido, regional geographic features and di�ering climates have shaped art and craft making traditions as diverse and delicate as Japan’s distinct four seasons.

Japanese creators today combine these rich art and craft making traditions with the best of modern design to create products of unique function and beauty. Japanese creations on display at the International Home + Housewares Show include not only traditional craft items but also practical everyday-use items that retain aspects of traditional Japanese techniques.

JETRO, the organizer of Japan Pavilion at the International Home + Housewares Show, is pleased to have the opportunity to introduce the best of Japanese design and innovation at the world's premier housewares marketplace. It is our sincere hope that visitors will see for themselves how the Japanese creations on display can add to the enjoyment of their daily lives.
