Artistic Nippon is turning 25 this year and we have decided to make some changes. Since the beginning, I have been solely responsible for communicating with my customers through email, with a skeleton staff on hand for help with checking/ packing.
Due to my advancing age, I’m finding it difficult to keep up with my previous pace and have decided that in order to continue giving my customers the service they deserve, I need to slow down and take better care of my body and mind.
So, from April, we will be taking extra time off! Please check the newly added calendar below.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
