We are a professional consortium founded in 2000 with the purpose of promoting and supplying Kyoto-made traditional handcrafts across the globe.
Member companies are all based in Kyoto. Our current main activities include developing new products and promoting them in craft / cultural events and exhibitions abroad. Our key strength is our products can be ordered through one point of contact.
We all help and work together with a united aim of promoting handcrafts.

Concept

Our core concept is (凛)Rin and (和)Nagomi.
They represent unique Japanese spiritual expressions.
Rin means cool, gallant and dignified.
Namomi means calm, relieved and at ease.
