Welcome to Kabaki-ya, where tradition meets authenticity. We are passionate curators of Japan’s rich cultural heritage, specializing in sourcing authentic and rare traditional Japanese items (dentoukougei). With a deep respect for artisanship and history, we strive to connect the world with the beauty of Japan’s traditional arts.
Who We Are
Kabaki-ya is a bridge between Japan and the United States, seamlessly blending the expertise of two dedicated teams. Our team in Japan works tirelessly to source unique, one-of-a-kind items directly from skilled artisans and small, family-run workshops, ensuring that each piece we offer is steeped in authenticity and tradition. Meanwhile, our U.S.-based team focuses on distribution, making these treasures accessible to both individual enthusiasts and businesses across the United States.
What We Do
Kabaki-ya operates through two distinct sales channels:
1. Etsy Store Our Etsy store is a haven for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese traditional arts. Here, you’ll find a curated selection of one-of-a-kind items, ranging from decorative art to authentic tableware and collectibles. Each piece is unique, with no duplicates, embodying the individuality and craftsmanship of its maker.
2. B2B Bulk Orders For businesses and professionals, our B2B channel offers tailored sourcing solutions. Whether you’re a restaurant, boutique, or retailer looking to elevate your offerings, we specialize in providing authentic tableware, plates, glasses, cups, and decorative art sourced directly from partner artisans in Japan. Our commitment to quality ensures that every bulk order is as unique as the individual pieces in our collection.
