Our Mission & Purpose
At Sakura & Clay, we believe in the transformative power of Japan’s traditional crafts to enrich lives and inspire awe. We are more than just a retailer—we deeply admire the artisans we work with and eagerly anticipate each of their new creations.
Japan’s remarkable craftspeople work tirelessly to preserve traditional techniques, but many regions face challenges due to a lack of successors. While some areas have succeeded in nurturing new talent, others risk losing precious skills and heritage. Partnering with local artisans' associations, industry groups, and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, we are committed to keeping these invaluable traditions alive.
By choosing Sakura & Clay, our customers and investors join us in preserving Japan’s rich craftsmanship, supporting artisans, and bringing timeless beauty into everyday life.

Our Story
The Beginning...
Sakura & Clay was born from a desire to blend Japan's rich cultural heritage with the refined sensibilities of modern aesthetics. Rooted in a deep respect for ancient craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of nature, our journey began with a partnership between passionate founders and a renowned pottery gallery owner in Japan. Together, we envisioned a way to bring the artistry of Japanese pottery to a global audience, celebrating the stories, traditions, and dedication of master artisans. Our mission goes beyond offering exquisite creations; we aim to preserve the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship, connecting past and present through each piece that brings joy, serenity, and lasting value into everyday life.
Coming Up Next
Behind the scenes, "Sakura & Clay" is carefully preparing each piece and establishing a robust supply chain, collaborating with our trusted partners in Japan for a seamless, high-quality launch. We are excited to support their grand opening while planning our own showcase event, where guests will have the first opportunity to experience the elegance of our fine Japanese pottery.
