SOTO has partnered with DECO BOKO in NYC at Nowhere Gallery, Jacob Javits Center and at Heath Ceramics in San Francisco throughout numerous activations.

The organizers of DECO BOKO are native to Japan, and have been dedicated to helping Japanese brands and manufacturers succeed in the US market. Despite the high potential of well-made and beautifully designed Japanese products, gaps between Japanese brands and American buyers often make it challenging to conduct business.

DECO BOKO is a phrase commonly used in Japan which means “uneven”, and could also mean“filling in the gaps”. We hope this traveling show helps fill in the gaps between Japanese brands and US buyers, for better transparency and streamlining the process to establish successful business relationships for both parties.
