Presented by KOHO Creative Hub with support from the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development.
Free to attend. RSVPs help us plan for you and show our funders how many neighbors we're bringing to Japantown.
KOHO invites you to celebrate the holidays in Japantown! Made + Found brings together 30+ Japanese, Japanese American, and AANHPI makers, artists, small businesses, and storefronts for a weekend of gifts that each tell a story.
This year, the market spreads out. Shop at KOHO and the Japan Center East Mall, then wander the neighborhood to discover participating shops, spaces, and makers across Japantown. Bring friends and family, from grandparents to grandkids, and get to know the Japantown we know and love.

Why Made + Found
Made + Found is about belonging. KOHO is preparing to leave its home, and this weekend is a reminder that belonging isn't tied to a building. It's something we make together, wherever we gather.
KOHO exists to serve our community, to remember Japantown's history and the families and businesses who were displaced, and to welcome everyone who is still finding their place here. Every purchase this weekend supports local small businesses, artists, and Japantown nonprofits. If you're looking for belonging, beauty, and connection to San Francisco's Japantown, you're welcome here.
