Three ways we make and deliver.

01 OEM

Custom merchandise

Acrylic goods, pins, stickers, apparel and more, made in factories in Japan and China, starting from small batches. We handle specifications, sampling, inspection and delivery. For personalized items, we also build on-demand production flows, from a few thousand to several hundred thousand units.

02 FDE (Ichirin Works)

Business systems for manufacturers

Under the name Ichirin Works, we build systems that bring quotes, work orders, purchasing and invoicing into one place for small manufacturers in Japan. We visit the shop floor, define the requirements together, and keep improving the system after it goes live.

03 MEDIA

Media

We publish WIRESIDE, a Japanese web magazine about manufacturing and AI, and write in English about living between Kamakura and Chiang Mai at cross-shore.com.

How we work
How we work

From the first idea to daily use.

We are builders, not just consultants. For merchandise, that means planning, production and delivery. For business systems, it means staying with the customer after launch, checking how the system is used, and improving it based on how it is actually used.

01

Listen

What you want to make, how many, by when, and at what quality.

Specifications, the right factory or the right system, and a sample to check.

03

Make and deliver

Production, inspection and shipping, or development and roll-out.

04 ↻
