Now gathering makers · Korea → worldwide
Knotwork, mother-of-pearl, brassware, ceramics — made one at a time, and increasingly reinterpreted for how people actually live now. Most of it never leaves Korea: not for lack of demand abroad, but because exporting one box is harder than making it. NodajiMarket removes that step. The maker ships domestically. We do the rest — and we publish the maker’s craft as a course, so the work is found before it is sold.
Sold by Global Piggy Inc. (Ontario, Canada) as merchant of record. Terms, refund and privacy policies are published at /legal.
Two doors, one catalogue
Most storefronts are written for a browser and then patched for everything else. This one publishes the same catalogue twice — as pages a person reads, and as structured data an agent can act on. Neither is a summary of the other.

Why these goods aren't already online
Listing on a global marketplace carries fixed costs — listing fees, warehousing, advertising, and a person to manage all three. Those costs are trivial per unit at volume and ruinous at ten units a month.
So the shelf fills with whatever ships by the pallet, and everything else stays home. That leftover shelf is not small. It is most of what Korea actually makes.
Their model: hold inventory, list it, advertise it, sell it many times.
Ours: hold nothing. Buy the item only once someone has ordered it, then ship it out under one accountable seller.
That inversion is what makes a ten-unit product worth listing. It is also why we don't carry anything you can already buy near you — if it's on a local shelf, we have no reason to exist for it.
How an order moves
The producer's part ends at a domestic courier. Everything after that — export, customs paperwork, tax, delivery, returns — is ours.
A person checks out in the store app, or an agent orders against a server-issued quote.
We purchase the item from the maker after your order — not before. Nothing sits in a warehouse.
The maker ships domestically in Korea. We receive it, check it and prepare it for export.
We ship internationally as the seller of record and handle anything that goes wrong.
What we carry
What the catalogue will carry, curated by hand and in small numbers, from makers and instructors who were never going to run an export desk.
결제 · How you pay
Prices are stated in USD. Nothing here is priced in a token, and no balance is held on your behalf.
Who you are buying from
You are not buying from a marketplace of strangers. Global Piggy Inc. (Ontario, Canada) is the merchant of record for every order — the legal seller, the party on your receipt, and the party responsible when something goes wrong.
For Korean makers
No export licence, no customs paperwork, no foreign-currency account, no English listing to write, no inventory to hand over in advance. We buy the item after it sells and take it from there. Each maker gets a page under their own name — nodajimarket.com/artisans/yourname — and a phone-friendly portal for orders, production photos and settlement, so the only job left is making.
