About us
Hi + welcome to happy crab imports and exports. formerly arts + crafts collide. i recently decided to focus solely on the arts and lessen the collide aspects.
so this is now a singular venture. just me. the business goal is to source premium Japanese artistic works on paper and offer these at less than gallery prices. the simple truth is these prints are in my blood - and finding a way to meet others who share this same energy/curse brings rewards far beyond expectations.
more simple truths!!!
i source almost all the prints from japan.
i tend to purchase prints created from 1930 through 1980s - the contemporary artists in japan are phenomenal but the price points are quite high
i am very good at shipping - (see customer ratings and comments) - while shipping costs have risen, you are acquiring art not a seat on an airplane
i enjoy interacting with clients. think of this as a coffee shop attached with "spiegel im spiegel" (arvo part) playing while you visit + chat.
thx, chas

Packed very nicely and safely. Great customer service! The print came a few days late but that was the fault of USPS.
