<About Kitamae JAPAN>
“Kitamae ships” were active for shipping business from Edo era to Meiji era. As a business model, “Kitamae ships” did not simply take custody of goods and transport them, but also the ship owners themselves bought and sold the goods that contributed not only for trading but also for the integration of each region’s culture.
Inheriting the spirit of “Kitamae ships”, “Kitamae JAPAN” is aiming to induce a paradigm shift toward the realization of a sustainable society in today’s digitalized and globalized society.
