FUJIMASA
In Arita, direct sales companies sold to inns and restaurants across the country to develop sales channels. The reason why Arita ware came to be known throughout the country in about 100 years is because of the change in distribution due to the development of railways and because local peddlers in Arita steadily spread its business on foot.
The founder of the company, Shoichi Kondo, was one of the peddlers at that time, and he even went to Hokkaido, where coal mining was bringing a boom to the economy after the war, and sold tableware to inns and restaurants.
The second head of the company, Hideki, further expanded the business and started wholesales across the country, mainly in Tokyo.
In the same year, the original catalog “Santoku Rokumi” was issued, which led to a rapid increase in business. Since then, they developed new sales channels throughout the country, with a focus on the hotel and restaurant tableware specialty shops.
At the same time, they expanded their showroom, which improved their recognition in the domestic hotel and restaurant industry.
Since 1998, they have also built an in-house product-with-image management system that has allowed them to control 150,000 items. They started developing original products at this time as well.

In 2011, Kojiro became the president. The following year, they moved their headquarters to Arita Será (in the former Arita ware wholesale community).
Arita Será has 22 ceramic ware shops, a gallery, a hotel, and a restaurant on an area of 66,000 square meters.
A new shop and a new showroom dedicated to professional use were established with a strong desire to contribute to the prosperity of the customers and the improvement of food culture through the sale of tableware.
More than 5,000 kinds of tableware are displayed and most of them are their original products.
Hotel and restaurant managers, and chefs from all over Japan, as well as other countries mainly in Asia, visit this showroom, and they are now leading the Arita ware industry with the best accomplishments and reliability in the industry.
