Shokunin.com, Inc. (Location: Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto; CEO: Shinya Sakurai), operator of the Japanese handicrafts online store, has launched sales in German, its eighth language, in February 2023 to augment services to the German-speaking world, where number of customers is increasing.

Shokunin.com is an online store for Japanese handicrafts founded in 2004 with the philosophy of "communicating that the traditional skills and culture of one's own country/region have value." Through the handcrafts of Japanese artisans, we hope to convey the unique value of Japan that has been cultivated by its history and culture, and to provide a comfortable service to customers wherever they are in the world. We market our products to more than 50 countries and regions.

Germany, with a population of 83 million, is the largest economy in Europe. German is spoken as an official language in six European countries, with more than 100 million speakers, or approximately 13.3% of the European population. Shokunin.com aims to further improve its services by directly approaching German-speaking customers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and other German-speaking countries, who have previously been served in English.
