iichi operates a marketplace for handmade and craft items featuring high quality centered around professional artists. With this alliance, artists registered with iichi will be able to introduce and sell their works to overseas markets throughout all of Asia and elsewhere through Pinkoi’s platform, and the works of popular Asian designers will be able to be purchased in Japan through Pinkoi.
