Amekaji Dojo is an online media platform based in Tokyo, Japan. Our site is a community of enthusiasts who are united by our passion for the quality, craftsmanship, and long-lasting style of Japanese Amekaji fashion. This includes Japanese-made denim, leather jackets, boots, small leather goods, and more.

Just as a dojo is a hall or place for immersive and experiential learning, we hope to inspire and educate the global audience on the world of Amekaji from Japan.
