• 1. Purchase Curated Craftworks Online

  From emerging young creators to internationally renowned artists, a wide variety of craftworks can be purchased online. Our selection spans ceramics, glass, dolls, and more—including many exclusive works available only through B-OWND. In addition, during solo exhibitions held at our permanent gallery inside Hankyu Men’s Tokyo, new works are released simultaneously on the EC site.

• 2.　Preserving the Value of Works through Blockchain

  Every artwork purchased via B-OWND comes with a blockchain-issued digital certificate of authenticity. This ensures not only the verification of authenticity but also that each act of acquisition—an expression of aesthetic appreciation—is permanently recorded as part of the history of art and craft. Furthermore, in the case of secondary distribution (resale of works), a portion of the transaction proceeds is returned to the original artist.

• 3.　Commission Unique, Made-to-Order Works

  For selected works, B-OWND offers the option to commission custom pieces directly from the artist. By choosing from eligible works, collectors can request a creation made exclusively for them. This order-based model provides a rare opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind piece. Account registration and customer information are required to place an order, but payment is only made after the work is completed. Before production begins, the B-OWND office will conduct a final confirmation, ensuring peace of mind.

• 4.　Discover Artists’ Worlds through Online Media

  Through our online magazine B-OWND Magazine, we offer in-depth features on artists’ philosophies, concepts, and creative processes. In addition to explanations of materials and techniques unique to craft, we also share interviews and collectors’ voices, providing multiple perspectives to enrich the appreciation and acquisition experience.

• 5.　Safe and Reliable Transactions

  With B-OWND operated by Tanseisha Co., Ltd., a leading company in spatial design listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market, we ensure safe and secure transactions.
