Every object possesses a life history that exists long before — and after — it passes through the doors of POJ Studio. The workshop is a space of origination and creation, permeated by the clinking of tools against a worktop or the silence necessary for concentration. Honoring a craft’s entire journey fosters deeper appreciation. Beyond recognizing a crafted object’s function or beauty, you gain insight into the process of its creation. We are proud to work with artisans performing immensely skilled and complex labor. Each craft practice is shaped by its workshop environments, distinct in its style and use of technique.

The Kyo-Zabuton cushion has an illustrious history as the chosen seat for emperors, nobility and revered Buddhist monks. Today, our Kyo-Zabuton cushion retains that sense of luxury while finding itself equally at home in casual and comfy settings.

These are the results. We are now accepting applications for our Summer and Autumn Apprenticeships: as an apprentice you’ll spend your time learning traditional techniques, but also experiencing the deeper rhythm and community behind the craft here in Kyoto. You’ll meet the people who cultivate and harvest materials, those who shape the tools, and the hands in the studio who patiently bringing a broken piece back together.

We are experiencing the full bloom of Plum (Ume) Blossom Season here in Kyoto. Although often overshadowed by the famed cherry blossoms, plum blossoms emerge across Japan from mid-February to mid-March, with their highly fragrant flowers and rounded petals. Jonan-gu Shrine is one of the many exquisite spots across Kyoto to witness the peak of Plum Blossom Season. Immerse yourself in a sea of pink when you visit the precinct. Originally built in eighth century and home to around 150 weeping ume trees, Jonan-gu shrine is a fantastic addition to any itinerary if you’re in Kyoto this week. 📷: @sonnyzehnder
