ABOUT US
UNITING MODERN ARTISTRY WITH AUTHENTIC CRAFTSMANSHIP TO ELEVATE EVERYDAY LIVING
ARJ is more than an LA-based lifestyle shop featuring carefully curated artistry and handcrafted items from around the world. We give tangible objects meaning through craftsmanship, traditions, and 'Monozukuri.' Each handmade piece tells a story intended to be treasured – because Monozukuri is more than just crafting things; it's a mindset, a spirit, a philosophy, and a way of living.
ARJ celebrates traditional craftsmanship, nature's inherent beauty, and the calm of slow living. Crafted with love by specialized craftsmen and artists, our collection of objects is characterized by its timeless elegance and understated beauty while embracing sustainability in every aspect.
To bring the vision of ARJ to life, we sought out treasures crafted by authentic artisans with a rich history across continents. With an unwavering commitment to authenticity, we make the journey to each individual artisan, brand, and family-owned producer we represent to meet the skilled craftsmen and women — some with legacies spanning over a century and official recognition as Living National Treasures of Japan — bringing back the essence of their regions to you.
Today, ARJ is a meeting point of exclusive elements and artistry from around the world that seamlessly merge, bringing a source of lasting beauty and inspiration to immerse into your home.
