I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but... here goes:
I'm planning in opening up a store in Lisbon (Portugal) with all sorts of Japanese items (From stationary, to traditional items, some tableware, accessories... etc).
The thing is, I can't seem to find any distributors in Europe. I come across a lot of online stores, but the only sell to the general public. Or I find wholesalers, but they're all located IN Japan.
My actual question is: do any of you know of some distributors in Europe, or where can I find them?
Also, do you know of any trade shows in Europe?
Thanks in advance for your information!!!
