About me
I help overseas businesses source and develop Japanese lifestyle goods with confidence. With over 20 years of experience in the Japanese lifestyle goods industry, I have worked in product planning, buying, merchandising, marketing, negotiations, and OEM development. I spent approximately 20 years at INOBUN Co., Ltd., a Japanese lifestyle retailer, where I curated products, developed business partners, conducted commercial negotiations, and supported OEM projects with overseas companies. Through this hands-on experience, I gained insight into Japanese quality and design.
