Design & Inspiration

All designs are inspired by the culture and nature of Japan - the things we see on a daily basis in or near our home and the things we love. Each design is sketched, revised, made into a prototype and revised again (any number of times) before a product is handmade.

In keeping with Japanese tradition, the overall aesthetic is one of simplicity, economy, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of nature.

Production & Materials

We use only materials produced in Japan, sourcing materials locally whenever possible. By producing goods in our home studio, we aim to reduce waste to zero where possible and pursue environmentally safe production methods.

All goods are handmade to order, ensuring that yours is unique, and each comes with a short explanation of the history and significance of the design printed on Japanese paper.
