Company Overview/会社概要
Message from the Representative
My name is Toshio Sakurai, representative of Espoir.TO.
Our roots trace back to “Sakurai Furniture Store,” which was founded in Sakai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture.
The founder, Etsuo Sakurai, was a craftsman specializing in traditional paulownia woodwork. With sincerity and dedication, he devoted himself to craftsmanship and was supported by the local community for many years.
That spirit remains unchanged today.
Although our business has evolved from a physical store to an online-based company, our commitment to delivering quality products with honesty and care continues to guide us.
At Espoir.TO, we strive to serve as a bridge between outstanding products from around the world and the Japanese market, building relationships founded on long-term trust.
We are a small team, but we value every encounter and approach each opportunity with thoughtful care.
We would be honored to cultivate meaningful partnerships with you.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
代表者挨拶
Espoir.TO 代表の櫻井俊夫です。
私たちの原点は、茨城県境町で営んできた「櫻井家具店」にあります。
創業者である櫻井悦男は、桐細工職人として誠実にものづくりと向き合い、地域の皆様に支えられて歩んできました。
その精神は今も変わりません。
形は実店舗からオンラインへと変わりましたが、「良いものを、誠実に届ける」という姿勢は受け継がれています。
Espoir.TOは、世界の優れた製品と日本をつなぐ架け橋として、長く信頼される関係を築いていきたいと考えています。
小さなチームですが、一つひとつの出会いを大切にし、丁寧にものごとを進めてまいります。
皆さまと良きパートナーシップを育んでいけましたら幸いです。
どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

At Espoir.TO, we act as a small but dedicated trade partner for global makers aiming to enter the Japanese market.
