How ATJ works.
All Things Japan helps Japanese makers sell overseas, and helps overseas buyers find them. Every product comes from a maker we can name and ships from Japan. Pick your side below.
For Global Buyers
-
Makers we've reviewed
Everything on ATJ comes from a named Japanese maker we've reviewed. This is not an open marketplace or a reseller catalogue.
-
What “live” means
If it is live, we have reviewed who makes it, that it is made in Japan, and that the product details are right. Stock, shipping route, your country's rules and the price are confirmed with you before we quote.
-
Ships from Japan
Every order ships from Japan, with the maker's identity preserved.
Buyer interest helps guide future categories. Launches depend on maker readiness, ATJ approval, and export requirements.
For Japanese Makers
-
Apply
A short form. We look at the product, the story behind it and how much you can make, then suggest a starting point that suits you.
-
Set up, step by step
We explain each step before it happens. We grow with demand, not ahead of it.
-
We write the English page
We write the English product page and you approve it. You do not manage listings or translations.
-
You ship from Japan
When an order comes in, you ship it from Japan. We walk you through the overseas side.
-
We handle the English
Buyer questions and English email come to us, so you do not have to handle them alone.
-
Terms first, then listing
We agree the commercial terms with you in writing before anything goes live.
