Why Vertex Plus Sakura?
Japanese manga and
anime are loved by people
all over the world.
Yet there are still very few
places where their cultural
value can be experienced
not only through the works
themselves, but also
through the atmosphere,
service, and meaningful
human connections that
surround them.
Vertex Plus Sakura was
created to bring a new
cultural experience to the
world.
Centered on Japanese
manga and anime IP, we
combine Japan’s highest
standards of hospitality
with proven operational
expertise to create a space
where culture, creativity,
and human connection
come together.
More than a gallery.
More than a café.
More than a retail store.
Vertex Plus Sakura is a
place where Japanese
manga and anime culture
can be experienced,
appreciated, and shared in
a way that goes beyond the
works themselves.

Vertex Plus Sakura —
The selection process for a
limited number of
founding partners
will now
commence.
In each territory, only one exclusive
partner
will be granted the right
to develop and represent
Vertex Plus Sakura.
This is not an opportunity for
everyone.
Reserved for those who
recognize its true value,
long-term vision,
and cultural significance.
A Limited Invitation
The future value of
Japanese manga and anime is
not created only
by globally famous titles.
Many remarkable works
still remain undiscovered
outside Japan.
Some have the potential to
grow into beloved titles
across new markets and generations.
At Vertex Plus Sakura,
we believe that
long-term value is not
only something to
acquire, but something
to cultivate.
Together with our partners,
we seek to discover,
develop, and grow these
opportunities into
sustainable
businesses for the future.

Stores can be imitated.
Products can be imitated.
But the highest standards of
Japanese hospitality
cannot be easily imitated.
Because they are not products.
They are the result of
long-cultivated
staff training,
operational discipline,
and service know-how.
At Vertex Plus Sakura,
we directly share this
intangible value
with our partner companies.
Only the valuable survives

Authenticity Matters
The market is filled with
imitations and unauthorized products.
The artworks handled by
Vertex Plus Sakura are officially
licensed works supplied through
proper rights clearance.
Each eligible artwork is provided
with an artist’s hand-signed
signature, serial number,
certificate of authenticity,
and guarantee card,
allowing its authenticity to be
verified.

Beyond the Artwork
What Vertex Plus Sakura
seeks to share with the
world
is not limited to art alone.
Behind every work lies
culture, hospitality,
philosophy,
and the spirit behind it.
Stores can be imitated.
Products can be imitated.
But the highest standards of
Japanese hospitality
cannot be easily imitated.
Because they are not products.
They are the result of
long-cultivated
staff training, operational
discipline,
sensitivity, and service
know-how.
At Vertex Plus Sakura,
we pass this intangible value
directly into our partner companies.
We seek to carry forward
not only the works
themselves,
but also the highest
standards of Japanese hospitality,
omotenashi.
Only one partner will be
selected for each country.
Once appointed, no
additional partners will be
accepted.

If you recognize the true value
of this opportunity
and share our long-term vision,
we invite you to contact us.
Beyond the mass market.
Untouched value.
We entrust you with
the exclusive right to
pioneer this opportunity
in your country.
One country.
One exclusive partner.
Japanese manga and anime
have become one of the
most powerful cultural
forces in the world.
Which style will you
choose to captivate
your exclusive market?
This is not a passive investment.
This is business ownership.
Not just a store—
but a landmark destination
where authentic culture and
commercial value converge.
For those who understand
vision, influence,
and first-mover advantage.

Imari Porcelain
Arita Porcelain
I was born in Imari City,
Saga Prefecture,
a region widely known
Japan for its historic
Imari Porcelain tradition.
Neighboring Arita Town is also
internationally renowned as the
birthplace of Arita Porcelain,
one of Japan’s most celebrated
ceramic cultures.
From an early age,
I was surrounded by Japan’s
unique sense of quiet beauty,
craftsmanship, and deep
respect for artisanal work.

These experiences have
profoundly shaped the worldview
and aesthetic philosophy
behind Vertex Plus Sakura.
At Vertex Plus Sakura, authentic
Imari Porcelain and Arita Porcelain
