Japanese touristic retail expert - Introducing products into Japan’s tourist-focused retail market

Hi there, hope you're having a great day!

We’re an eCommerce brand creating unique desk accessories inspired by Japanese culture and design.

Our hero product is a series of premium mousepads that reinterpret traditional ukiyo-e art into sleek, contemporary formats—blending heritage with modern aesthetics.

We're currently exploring the idea of placing these mousepads in key tourist-focused retail locations across Japan—such as museum gift shops, cultural centers, and popular tourist destinations.

We’ve attached sample images of our mousepads to this listing.

We’re looking for someone to help us:
- Evaluate whether there’s real opportunity in this market
- Identify relevant retailers that attract tourist traffic
- Help us reach out and build partnerships to stock or consign our products

The ideal collaborator would:
- Have experience in Japan’s retail sector, especially in cultural or tourism-oriented spaces
- Be fluent in Japanese and comfortable handling business communication

If this sounds like a project you’re a good fit for, we’d love to chat and see how we can work together.

Best regards,
Antoine
