Incorporate a diverse culture

WABI SABI is highly regarded for being able to experience Japanese cultural content. This year, too, we started a special sale of Chiba Prefecture's traditional craft “Boshu Fan,” and it was presented with booths of a wide range of topics, from traditional things such as Gagaku and Sashiko to Shiba Inu goods popular in France, unique accessories, and foods such as monaka and matcha.

Another suggestion of WABI SABI is that there are many repeat visitors. “I bought this product 6 years ago, and I still use it with care!” They said, “I'm glad we met again this year!” They were brought to be reunited with the artist, and a heartwarming exchange over a distance of 10,000 was born.
