In a unique fusion of art, culture, and commerce, the new e-commerce project focusing on Japan’s manhole cover souvenir fridge magnets and coasters aims to celebrate and preserve a distinctive aspect of Japanese heritage. Known for their intricate designs and local significance, these manhole covers reflect the rich history and artistry found throughout Japan’s urban landscapes. This project not only provides tourists and collectors with unique keepsakes but also promotes cultural appreciation and sustainability. By transforming these everyday objects into artistic souvenirs, the initiative seeks to engage a global audience while supporting local artisans and communities. Join us as we explore the vibrant world of Japanese manhole covers and their potential to captivate hearts worldwide.
Right after the Year-end Financial Report to the Japanese tax accountant this morning, I had a business meeting with our Japanese staff on the new eCommerce project: Japan Manhole Cover Souvenir Fridge Magnets/Coasters. What a great relief after days of filing and then encoding hundreds of bills while transacting with factory agents overseas (oh yes, frequent reporting on Bombo Radyo plus regular teaching job) and seeking official approval from local authorities, we received at least 2 go signal today! 14 Letters of Intent were posted just last week by my resourceful Japanese staff so the authorities’ response is really quick and precise.
Japanese city & prefectural officials approved our eCommerce project as we market them on Amazon and other marketplaces. Hope JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) will also approve these future original OLIVES, Inc. products on JAPAN Store in partnership with Amazon Global Selling. OLIVES, Inc. original products (Private Labels) already on sale can be checked and bought here (wholesale & retail): OLIVES, Inc. Amazon Store Â
After the Japan manhole souvenir fridge magnet, we will request an extension on using the design on Amazon Merch on Demand where I was approved to join last year. Hope to create related online courses as soon as I’m settled with all these wonderful opportunities in Japan and beyond. Just keep checking this blog site (Filipina Edupreneur) for updates.
My new eCommerce project in collaboration with the city and prefectural government aims to promote the local areas through their unique manholes — with official approval! Have you seen these fascinating manhole designs around Japan?
Hope the Japan souvenir fridge magnets to be promoted & marketed by OLIVES, Inc. will help the tourists treasure their created memories in Japan and will share their personal explorations & experiences to their families, friends, loved ones & colleagues. This project will also help revitalize the local economy….my simple contribution & gesture of gratitude for hosting me for 30+ years in Japan. Great interconnection, isn’t it?!  With Love from Japan!
