About
Based in New York, DECO BOKO was the first wholesale tradeshow in the US that focused on Japanese products in the design / gift industry.
The organizers of DECO BOKO are native to Japan, and have been helping Japanese brands and manufacturers find opportunities to succeed in the US market.
Although we have been seeing high potential in well made / designed Japanese products, there are often gaps between Japanese brands and American buyers that make it hard to do business.
DECO BOKO is a phrase commonly used in Japan which means “uneven”, and can also mean “filling in the gaps”.
The logo of DECO BOKO was created with New York based design studio, Studio Nework, inspired by this concept and the Japanese “Kanji” characters “凸凹”, which represent the word DECO BOKO.
DECO BOKO was created to help bridge these gaps between Japanese brands and US buyers, fostering transparency and making it easier for both parties to build business relationships.
Building on this mission, DECO BOKO is evolving into Life & Things, a new exhibition platform developed in collaboration with JPT America, Inc., continuing to connect Japanese brands with the US market.
