AP K-Craft
The artisan's hands, to the world.
Works by intangible cultural heritage holders and masters, for overseas buyers. Finding artisans, recording the making, multilingual promotion, and selling certified originals only.
The skill exists. No one to carry it on.
Limited outlets and large distribution margins. Creating alone cannot sustain a living. Fewer of each generation choose a craft that demands years of training. The works exist, but there is no channel or trust mechanism to reach overseas buyers.

Phase 1 is trust before sales. First the world learns “this master exists.” Sales open once the response is confirmed.
A structure that proves authenticity.
Celadon and white porcelain, mother-of-pearl lacquerware and woodwork, hanji lamps and fans. Only artisan-made pieces distinct from cheap imports. Every work with signature, making record and provenance.
Artisan, platform, buyer.
Artisans gain fair income and the means to train successors, the platform gains transaction fees and an artisan network, overseas buyers gain verified originals and a trustworthy origin.
AP does not provide appraisal, insurance or customs itself. It records, connects and coordinates, with specialist partners.
With artisans and workshops.
Artisans and workshops, heritage institutions, overseas partners. Starting with the first master and the first making record.
Sales are Phase 2. Now: finding, recording, promoting.
