About Us

At Citizen Welles, we believe that culture isn’t just a collection of facts, symbols, or traditions—it’s a living, breathing story passed from hand to heart, generation to generation. We created this space for seekers, wanderers, learners, and lovers of all things Japanese—those curious enough to dig deeper than surface impressions and embrace the subtle richness of the culture.

Born out of admiration for Japan’s timeless elegance and contemporary creativity, Citizen Welles bridges the worlds of ancient wisdom and modern wonder. From the artistry of a Kyoto tea master to the pulse of Shibuya streetwear, we explore it all—respectfully, thoughtfully, and with awe.
