The story of Inner Nature started long before our business began.

Around 2006, I (Jun) was diagnosed with a blood disorder. At that time, I could not find any clear answers about what I could do for myself. I felt lost and searched for something that could guide me.

One book changed the way I think. It was Eastern and Western Medicine by Yuumi Ishihara. The book explained that good health comes from finding a balance between Western medicine and Eastern wisdom.

Until then, I had paid very little attention to Eastern philosophy. After reading that book, I slowly became interested in its ideas. Over many years, I also learned about naturopathy, traditional remedies, and natural ways of supporting health. I wasn't looking for quick answers. I simply wanted to understand how to live in a healthier and more balanced way.

Later, I met Masayo, and together we found that we shared the same values. We both believed that caring for ourselves, caring for nature, and living with gratitude are all connected.

In 2020, we were no longer able to continue the business we had been running. Although it was a difficult time, it also gave us a chance to think about what was truly important to us. We realised we wanted to share the products and ideas that had inspired us over the years.

So, in September 2020, we started Inner Nature.

It was a very small beginning. We only sold two products: a handmade hemp scrubber and soapberries. There were times when running the business was financially difficult, but thanks to the kindness and support of our customers, friends, and local community, we have been able to continue growing.

At first, we only introduced products that we personally used and truly loved. As our business grew, we also listened carefully to our customers. Today, every product is carefully researched and selected based on both our own experience and the feedback we receive from the people we serve.

Our goal has never been to sell as many products as possible. We simply want to offer products that are kind to people and kind to the Earth.

We don't believe that one product can change the world. But we do believe that many small choices, made by many people, can create a better future.

As long as there are people who find value in what we do, we hope to continue sharing products that help people reconnect with themselves, with nature, and with the simple joy of living more gently.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
