As the holiday season 2021 is approaching, we would like to remind you of our order deadline.
We highly recommend that you place a holiday order by September 15, 2021.
As many of our products have a lead time of 1 – 1.5 months after payment, the shipments for the orders received by the above date are scheduled to take place around the beginning of November.
It is highly likely that orders received after September 15th won’t make it before a marketing event like Black Friday.
This is to announce that we will raise the pricing of all the FUTAGAMI and MATUREWARE items by September 2021. This rise is scheduled to be by but not limited to 10% approximately.
This is due to the continued substantial rise in the price of copper in the past years. (Please note that brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.)
We will continue to apply the current pricing to the orders we receive until August 24, 2021 (JST), followed by remittance by August 30, 2021 (JST).
The new pricing will be applied to orders we receive after August 25, 2021 (JST).
Please be advised that the above schedules will be strictly applied for providing a smooth transition from the current pricing to the new pricing in our computer systems.
We regret to inform you that we also have items to be discontinued from these two brands as of August 31, 2021 (JST). We will no longer be taking orders on these items from September 1, 2021 (JST).

We have amended our terms and conditions as of today. The change is associated with the shipping option via YU PACK prepaid to a domestic location within Japan:
A consumption tax of 10% will be added to the invoice if the shipping address is located within Japan unless the location is a bonded warehouse.
The updated terms and conditions can be found in the usual dropbox link we provide to our customers.
We, as an exporter, will continue to be lawful and compatible with both the local and international rules and regulations and appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation.

We are pleased to inform you that the following TAKDA items are now resumed, and we have updated the line sheet and EXCEL Order Form accordingly:
KOZO Handy Broom with Japanese Cypress Handle KOZO-174
KOZO Natural Wood Dustpan S KOZO-050
On April 12, 2021, we announced that they had been discontinued. It was actually due to raw material shortages, but we, together with the maker, made an effort to put it back into production.
We are happy to supply these two items back again as they have been pretty popular as they can be stored together like in this picture.
As the production volumes for these items are limited, we have decided not to market them as our regular items for the time being. Therefore, these new accessories are included in neither our line sheet nor the EXCEL Order Form.
Instead, we will be holding order-taking events several times a year and fulfill such orders all at once separately from our regular order-taking routines. The first occasion is scheduled to take place at the beginning of August 2021 as follows:
Handmade-to-order orders will be taken using the google forms starting from August 3, 2021, until August 13, 2021. We have a limited supply volume (50 pieces) per product code and will fulfill the orders on a first-come-first-served basis. Once ordered volumes reach our supply volumes, we will stop taking orders even before the deadline.
The orders taken will be delivered alone, separate from all your regular orders within October 2021. We cannot combine these handmade-to-order orders and your regular orders into one shipment.
We will send out a promotional email with a link to the order form to relevant customers shortly.
We look forward to delivering these gorgeous candle accessories from DAIYO to those who appreciate the quality and ecosystem of our rare Japanese handmade products.
