Arawaza has a reputation in customized Japanese embroidery.  This very demanding and detailed work is done to perfection and your satisfaction is guaranteed. We offer a low cost, high quality, precision STYLE and NAME embroidery service.

Each job is carefully processed. The embroidery needlework is done on a finished product so it will not come undone and “layered” for a thick and luxurious appearance.

We can also have your name translated in Japanese by our native Japanese translator who has a great deal of experience with spoken and written English and French. All Japanese characters are originally hand painted by a Japanese master of calligraphy and then digitized.

Our embroidered belts are the very best looking on the market. From 8 to 12 lines of stitching and high-quality base. They are embroidered right through (strengthening rather than weakening the belt) and leaving the design on the face of the belt free from black stitching over the embroidery.

Karatekas of all levels can also have the satisfaction of owning one of these beautiful belts. We can embroider to your precise specifications in a wide range of colors, on any colored belt.

Katakana: We can embroider any word phonetically with Japanese Katakana characters.

Kanji: Many custom designs can be created inexpensively by using our existing library of digitized Kanji characters. For example, by combining INTERNATIONAL, TRADITIONAL, KARATE & FEDERATION you can create “I.T.K.F.”

Please note that orders with personalized embroidery will have an additional 5$ shipping fee to insure the value of the embroidery with the postal service.
