About Us

Bows & Arrows is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design. 

Our collection is a made up entirely of Japanese brands that remain, “Made in Japan", which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production and the long history that they maintain. Wonderful packaging design are always an added joy to find.

Our selection of Japanese food is also based on craftsmanship in agriculture. We choose brands based on how they are made and we love brands that continue to use traditional natural techniques to grow food and prepare it.
