About

Murasaki Goods was created out of my love for Japanese culture and design. After my first visit to Japan in 2019, I knew I wanted to pursue my own business sharing Japanese home goods and handmade gifts with my community of friends and family. I deeply connect with the Japanese culture and find joy in presenting these items for everyone to enjoy.

(“Edo” is the ancient name of Tokyo, and “murasaki” means purple). During the reign of the 8th Shogun Yoshimune Tokugawa, the “Murasaki-sou” (Lithospermum erythrorhizon) plant was cultivated, and dyeing clothes in a purple hue became popular in the western part of Edo. Purple is commonly associated with royalty, nobility, wisdom and spirituality. 

I hope you all enjoy the evolution of this brand... I'm so looking forward to a future of beautiful connections.
