Licensed and Registered in Japan
In Japan, buying and selling secondhand goods requires a license from the police. We hold an Antique Dealer License (Kobutsusho) issued by the Osaka Prefectural Public Safety Commission (License No. 622271206036), and we are a registered member of the Japan Association of Antiquarian Booksellers’ cooperative network.
Two Logistics Centers, One Million Books
Our inventory is stored in two logistics centers in Osaka Prefecture: the Esaka Logistics Center (Suita) and the North Osaka Logistics Center (Ibaraki). Each book is tracked individually by our proprietary inventory system, so when you send us an ISBN list we can check real stock rather than estimates.
Trusted by Major Retailers and Marketplaces
We supply and trade with leading Japanese bookstores and online marketplaces, including Yurindo, Ogaki Shoten, Heiwa Shoten, Amazon Japan, Rakuten, and Mercari Shops. We also run in-store book buyback programs in partnership with bookstores across Japan.
A Business That Gives Back
Through our partner organization Union Books, we provide employment support for people with disabilities. Our charity program donates the value of books our customers give us to partner organizations.
