Hello! My name is Owen, a Japanese American graphic designer based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Thank you for stopping by!

About Tanaka General Store

Tanaka General Store is heavily guided and influenced by my Japanese American upbringing, experiences, and community, specifically out of San José Japantown — in addition to designing things in general (ha, get it?) that I just find amusing.While this is only currently a side project to track my design endeavors and journeys in one cohesive place, my hope is that this can one day become a place of reflection and gratitude for the life I've been so lucky to live.Who knows, one day I might actually sell something!So, why the name "Tanaka General Store?"The name "Tanaka General Store" takes inspiration from Hasegawa General Store, a 100-year-old-plus fourth generation family run business in Hāna, Maui. While I don't ever intend on this brand becoming that old, I still strive to provide the same love, care, and community a locally-owned, Japanese American-run shop would.Thank you for stopping by!- オーウィン・田中
