Attention

The global demand is real

Right now, an artist in Ohio, a calligrapher in London, and a fountain pen collector in Sydney are actively searching for authentic Japanese paper, hand-mixed inks, and handmade binderies.

They don't want mass-produced commercial supplies. They want the tactile weight of Yame Washi, the archival durability of cold-water beaten mulberry fibers, and the story of your workshop.

The global demand for authentic Japanese stationery and craft is at an all-time high. Yet 95% of regional Japanese producers remain completely locked out of overseas sales.

The pain

The agony of cross-border expansion

You know your work is world-class. Selling overseas is the part nobody taught you.

For most traditional makers, attempting to sell directly to Western consumers or boutique stores turns into an overwhelming operational nightmare:

The Translation Trap

Literal machine tools turn your centuries-old story into dry, robotic descriptions like “Handmade paper made from mulberry.” The nuance is lost, the value is destroyed, and you're forced into price wars with cheap factory alternatives.

The Tariff & Customs Wall

6-digit HS tariff codes, complex EU IOSS tax calculations, UK VAT rules, and unpredictable customs forms result in packages stuck at international borders or unexpected fees charged to your customers.

Broken Unit Economics

You ship a package overseas only to realize that after credit card fees, international parcel rates, and platform commissions, you made zero profit on the sale.

The English Customer Service Burden

Drafting captions in English and answering late-night customer emails steals hours away from the studio — taking you away from the craft itself.

You shouldn't have to become an influencer. You shouldn't have to learn fluent English. And you shouldn't have to run a logistics company just to share your work with the world.

The solution

Inari Global Accelerator

The craft stays 100% human. The cross-border machinery runs on specialized AI.

Inari Global Accelerator GK is a Fukuoka-based platform designed specifically for regional Japanese artisans. We provide the software, financial models, tax automation, and hands-on guidance needed to scale your workshop globally — without changing your brand, your standards, or your voice.

What's included

What is included in your membership

When you join The Accelerator Platform, your workshop gets immediate access to our complete B2B infrastructure for ¥11,900 / month ($77 USD):

  1. 1

    Smart Translation & Nuance Engine (AI-powered)

    Our proprietary large language models are trained specifically on paper weights (GSM), fountain pen ink compatibility, washi fiber structures, and traditional craft terminology. It converts your Japanese product descriptions into native, high-converting Western copy that preserves your story and commands premium global pricing.

  2. 2

    Automated HS Tariff & Tax Mapping

    AI analyzes your raw material compositions (Yame Washi fiber content, pigment ingredients, binder materials) to automatically assign precise 6-digit global HS tariff codes, calculate real-time EU IOSS and UK VAT, and generate compliant customs documentation in seconds.

  3. 3

    Predictive Seasonal Marketing Calendars

    Western buying cycles operate differently than Japan's. Our AI analyzes historical Western consumer data to generate auto-drafted promotional roadmaps — notifying your workshop in August with pre-drafted campaign assets ready for North American autumn and holiday buying drops.

  4. 4

    Bi-Weekly Hands-On Workshops in Fukuoka

    Participate in 90-minute interactive workshops hosted twice a month at our Tenjin Studio (or join online). Led by our full-time Japanese operations team and e-commerce strategists, these sessions walk you step by step through Western buyer preferences, wholesale line sheets, and international pricing models.

  5. 5

    Dedicated Local Support Desk

    100% Japanese-language support. Our local Fukuoka office handles your administrative questions, verifies AI-translated listings, and guides you through onboarding so you never feel stuck.

Our guarantee

We protect your brand

Most agency advice for selling abroad asks you to become someone else — louder photos, Western packaging, and a brand voice that isn't yours. We start from the opposite premise:

Your product stays your product

We never touch your design, materials, or traditional standards.

Your voice stays your voice

We translate meaning, nuance, and pride — not just words. Your listings read like you, in clear English Western buyers trust.

We fix the plumbing, not the art

Pricing, tariffs, shipping, and tax compliance — the backend mechanics that determine whether a beautiful product reaches a global shelf profitably.

You retain 100% control

We provide the numbers, AI tools, and calendars. What you launch — and when — is always your decision.

You don't have to become a Western brand. You simply have to be legible to global buyers.
