Piazza Trading & Co., Ltd., USA
The management philosophy of Piazza Trading & Co., Ltd. is grounded in two principles: Centered Values (balanced cultural and commercial exchange with a focus on location) and Independent Spirit (self-supporting and independent management policies). Since our founding in both countries, we have implemented various cultural and trading activities between Japan and the U.S. based on these principles, with global environmental protection and healthy living emerging as key themes.
In 1989 Piazza Trading purchased the Piazza Building in Sausalito, California, as our corporate headquarters. We grounded our economic base by purchasing buildings for commercial lease, one in San Francisco in 1992 and another in Novato in 1994. Building on our themes of environment and health, we began trading Native American products – foods, jewelry, and artworks. In 2005 we established Tracey Designs Inc. with Ray Tracey, who is a world renowned Navajo artist.
Since the year 2000, we have supported the Nowa Cumig Institute, presided over by Native American leader Dennis Banks. We launched the Yamamoto Cup in 2002, a canoe race to educate Native American youth, whose winners each year are invited to Japan. We were also a primary sponsor of the Longest Walk II 2008/Clean Up Mother Earth. Noh seminars were offered in 2005 and 2006. Movies and publications on Native American philosophy have been produced in both Japanese and English
.We strive for balance between business and culture to maintain meaningful links between Japan and the United States, now and in the future.
