The Kominka Collective's mission is to save old Japanese folk houses while preserving and passing on traditional carpentry methods. We are a not-for-profit company.
We bring reclaimed and reconstructed Japanese folk houses, cottages, studios, and traditional materials to
North America and beyond
We would love to talk to you about the many wonderful ways to incorporate kominka and traditional Japanese materials and furnishings into your life.
