Our story
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
We had always dreamed of visiting Japan, and when we finally arrived in Kyoto, it was everything we imagined—quiet temples, narrow streets, and the soft pink glow of cherry blossoms in full bloom. One evening, we dined at a small family-run restaurant tucked away in a side alley. The food was incredible, but what truly caught our attention was the tableware—beautiful, handcrafted ceramics that felt both refined and deeply personal. Each bowl, plate, and cup seemed to tell its own story.
As we spent more time exploring, we became captivated by the elegance in everyday Japanese life. From the thoughtful presentation of meals to the way each piece of tableware was chosen with care. It wasn’t just about function, but about creating a moment. That quiet attention to detail stayed with us. Long after we returned home, we found ourselves searching for pieces that carried that same sense of calm and beauty.
Dive in the deep
We’re two creative people who had long dreamed of starting a business, but nothing ever quite felt right, until we visited Japan. In Kyoto, surrounded by quiet streets and timeless beauty, we found inspiration in the little details of daily life. What truly captured our hearts wasn’t just the food or scenery, but the Japanese tableware; simple, elegant, and filled with meaning.
Every plate, cup, and bowl told a story. The craftsmanship, the textures, the balance of form and function; it all reflected the deep appreciation for everyday rituals. It was in these small moments, enjoying meals served with such care, that we found our spark.
We realized we didn’t just want to bring home souvenirs—we wanted to share this feeling. The calm, the beauty, the artistry. That’s when the idea for our business was born: to bring the spirit of Japanese tableware into homes around the world.
