We can only resize some of the extra-wide shop noren. Most of the other "home-use" noren are not re-sizable because of the initial setting of the production line at the maker.

Yes, the noren can be trimmed by some inches, but please be careful not to cut the design. And you need to sew the edges by yourself.

Yes, each tenugui hand towel is folded in a plastic sleeve for shipping. Large, small, or just one piece order, we fold each tenugui in a plastic sleeve for shipping as a courtesy.

We will ship up to 3 tenugui via registered airmail packet service, which is less expensive than our standard shipping method (Express Mailing Service). You can still track the airmail packet through Japan Post website. Please be advised that the arrival time may be longer. Please select "economy shipping option for tenugui" when you place an order.

We are an online retailer rather than a wholesaler. We don't have any kind of printed catalogs, and all of our products are listed on this website.

As we are a retailer (not a wholesaler), we don't have any minimum order requirement or discounted prices for dealers. If you place a large order, we will respond with your shipping cost saving.

You can pay with PayPal, VISA, MasterCard, and JCB credit card. (No other credit cards are acceptable through PayPal's guest payment screen invoked by our website.) All payments are processed through PayPal gateway, however you don't need to have a PayPal account when you pay with your credit card. You will be directed to PayPal's screen where you can use your credit card as a 'guest'.
For your information, you cannot bypass PayPal. We only have PayPal for getting funds from customers, and we don't have any direct mechanism from credit cards.

The payment currency is Japanese Yen (JPY). However, PayPal will convert JPY to your currency automatically based on the fx-rate of the day and will charge on your PayPal deposit or credit card. (PayPal has its guideline of exchange rate. Please visit PayPal website for more detail.)

First, please go to the currency converter in any shopping item's page and enter the total amount without decimal points. For example, if the total amount is 5,675JPY, please enter digits "5675" (with no decimal) into the currency converter and then select your currency. The converted value will give you an image in your currency. As for the real payment, PayPal or the credit card company will convert the JPY to your local currency and will charge on you. Often, the exchange rate should be approximately 4-5% differece (worse) to that displayed. Please contact your local PayPal office or the credit company for the currency exchange rate.

Sorry to say, the payment currecny is in Japanese Yen only for customers both from Japan and from overseas.

Orders shipped to international destinations may be subject to taxes levied by the respective government.

For the dissatisfaction and /or mistake of your purchase, we are very much sorry that we cannot accept the return. Once the parcel is delivered overseas, it is very hard to send it back. If you are not sure about the item you are thinking to purchase, please make sure to inquire us about your worry and concern before shopping, because we are selling cross-cultural items. Color, texture, looking, finish of an item should be different from what you find in your native country and what you are in mind. When you use this WebSite, you are under the agreement stated in "Term of Use".
Please understand that we make every effort to explain the item with our best in English for your purchases at www.nipponcraft.com. Please also understand that shopping over the internet (especially from a foreign country) is different from shopping at a street shop with touching, feeling, checking items before purchasing. Thank you very much.
