Each slightly different expression will create a special feeling just for you. Please feel the charm of this texture and warmth created by the handiwork of craftsmen.

It's like a scene from a picture book. This stylish ginkgo is very full of vitality, and some trees are over 1,000 years old. It is said that there is something sacred in its living power, and it is often seen as a sacred tree in temples and shrines. People have made wishes for the shape of ginkgo biloba to have a long life, for the spread of leaves to attract luck, and for golden leaves to have good financial luck.

Connections with the community and society are also important All of Fuwa Market's original products are carefully finished by Japanese artisans in Kyoto and beyond. On top of that, we perform some light work, such as preparing packages and tagging, in cooperation with the employment support facility "tomoni" of our affiliated company. This collaboration was born from the experience of the family of Fuwa Market's representative, Nishida. By participating in the manufacturing site, we ask users to do the work they can to help them gain confidence and joy, and we give them back as compensation (wages). Fuwa Market values such collaboration, where the skills of craftsmen and the hands of the people involved come together to create a product.
