Hanamaru Sendai (located in Aoba-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) announced that starting May 2026, it will implement a strengthened buyback program specifically targeting high-end furniture originally purchased from IDC OTSUKA.
In recent years, Miyagi Prefecture has seen a rise in inquiries regarding the disposal and sale of large, high-value furniture due to luxury apartment relocations, home renovations, and downsizing among the elderly. IDC OTSUKA carries numerous domestic and international premium brands—such as Cassina, Actus, Simmons, Matsuso, and Herman Miller—which maintain high demand in the secondary market. However, many owners struggle with professional appraisal and the physical challenge of moving large items like marble tables or sectional sofas.
To address these needs, Hanamaru has established a joint sales route with SELUNO, a specialist in brand furniture wholesale and retail. This partnership enhances Hanamaru's ability to provide accurate valuations and broadens its resale capabilities. For specific eligible brands, the company is introducing a minimum buyback guarantee starting at 10,000 JPY (subject to condition and model).
Focus Brands Include: - Cassina: High-end Italian modern furniture renowned for its 'I Maestri' and 'Contemporary' collections. - Drexel Heritage: American classic furniture known for its traditional craftsmanship and durability. - Karimoku: Japan’s leading wooden furniture manufacturer, highly regarded for ergonomic design. - Simmons: A global leader in luxury bedding featuring proprietary pocket coil technology. - Matsuso: A premium brand from Fuchu, Hiroshima, specializing in exquisite woodcraft and traditional joinery.
The service flow involves preliminary consultation via LINE, on-site appraisal by professional staff, and full-service removal and transport. Hanamaru aims to foster a culture of 'appraisal before disposal,' contributing to a regional circular economy in Miyagi Prefecture.
