You will find your soul-work as in soul mate here. Many people are often unsure why they choose this work, but not that work, especially in Japanese art. We will guide your journey to meet the piece that you can connect with deep inside. All the works are from our sources in Kyoto. Misako (the owner) came from a Kimono merchant family with two and a half centuries of history. It enables her to get to these sources. Dive in, and let's start.
Many of the objects shown in this gallery lived with our ancestors. Some were part of the daily domestic routine, while others were brought out on special occasions, symbolizing the joy that accompanies a celebration. Some came from the Way of Tea culture, with strict rules about how to use them. Removed from traditional function and transported into contemporary life, each object stands on its own and starts to find an affinity for its new environment.
