Who We Are
A PORT for
Japanese Value.
Japan is home to world-renowned skills and aesthetics, and traditions passed down over generations.
Bringing that value and story to the world.
Japan is home to world-renowned skills and aesthetics, and traditions passed down over generations. Yet the opportunities for this value and these stories to meet the world remain limited.
ARTENEX JAPAN was founded to discover the exceptional skills, works, and stories that live on across Japan, and to bring the value of Japanese culture to audiences at home and abroad.
Our Mission
Connecting the value of Japanese culture with the world.
We discover the skills, aesthetics, and stories passed down across Japan, refine them, and bring them to the world.
Our Vision
Where encounters cultivate value.
We aim for a society where the value held within Japanese culture creates new encounters with people around the world, and is carried on into the future.
Why PORT
From the power to carry things, to the power to deliver culture.
A port (PORT) is where people, things, and culture meet, giving rise to new journeys.
Over more than 30 years, Best Shipping Group has created countless encounters through its global logistics business connecting the world.
Building on that "power to connect," ARTENEX JAPAN aims to become a "port of culture," bringing the skills, aesthetics, and stories passed down across Japan to the world.
