Welcome to 3 Pillars
3 Pillars is an artist owned small business that promotes local artists. It all started with the opportunity provided by the JCBD Heart of Jtown Project to open an artist pop up shop. As we went through the process, we noticed a lack of art that represented the Asian American experience in the Bay Area. Many people gravitated toward designs inspired by Asian American culture, San Francisco nostalgia, and Japantown. Our products are carefully selected to ensure they align with these sentiments.

About Us
3 Pillars is the creation of 2 friends and artists, Brenden Oshima and Derrick Higa. Both grew up in Japantown doing volunteer work for festivals, attending summer camps (JCYC), and playing J-League. Japantown became a second home for them, so having a retail shop in Japantown is a dream come true. They can now share their designs with the community that inspired our growth!
