Want to buy Japanese traditional&cultural goods, if you can buy them without visiting Japan?

Question

My bother runs a shop selling Japanese traditional & cultural goods (like samurai goods) as souvenir, which you can find at many tourits attractions in Japan.
Are you interested in such goods and, if so, want to buy them if you can do that without visiting Japan?

Answer 1

Local souvenirs are purchased as a memory of the travel or vacation. I do not think there is a market for that. If you mean not souvenir goods but Japanese art, craft, or antique pieces, some people might be interested in. I don't know which country you or your bother are living but an organization of Japanese government can help those who are willing to import from Japan. Try this site:http://www.jetro.go.jp/

Good luck!
