Why New York
Every culture in the world meets in New York City. Taking Japanese tradition as our root, we engage it in conversation with the city around us, and share what we create with the wider world.
That’s the whole idea, and it’s why RESOBOX could only happen here. Come explore with us:
Learn by making
Whisk tea, grind ink, tie a mizuhiki knot — taught by those who have dedicated their lives to the craft.
→Meet the artisans
Now and then, a maker comes through from Japan — ceramics, woodwork, textiles — for a pop-up and a first look at work just arriving in the U.S.
→Taste it first
Demos, tastings, and pop-up shops let you taste what’s new from Japan — before the rest of the city.

More than a showcase, RESOBOX is a creative bridge — connecting Japanese artisans, growers, and producers with U.S. architects, designers, shops, and restaurants to co-develop products, build brands, and bring new projects to life. A few of them:
Often, the people who show up for our events are chefs, buyers, architects, and designers — and more than a few end up working with these artisans. If that sounds like you, learn more about becoming a partner.
