Pieces of Japan reimagined for the modern home with a mission to revitalize tradition.

“This deeply intentional compound reflects Koyama and Tsukamoto's dedication to promoting and supporting traditional artisans and heritage crafts through an updated lens."

“Our vision for this project is to bring the essence of ancient Kyoto into the modern world, through an intimate journey of food, crafts and stays.”

“It’s a one-stop-shop for homeware made by artisans from around Japan (wooden oryoki bowls, decorative straw amulets and DIY incense-making kits).”
