The moss temple of Kyoto is an iconic homage to a humble bit of vegetation. Moss has come to represent the principles of wabi-sabi in its transience, quietness, and simplicity. Many temples, tea houses, and gardens proudly display their moss landscapes, which can be surprisingly tricky to maintain. But none do so more deliberately than the kokedera moss temple, Saihō-ji. A world heritage site, the temple grounds are immensely tranquil, and well worth the visit. Our recommendation is to go during tsuyu season (梅雨) — the rainy summer period from mid june to end of july. The warmth and moisture ensure the moss flourishes.

Here’s the Kintsugi Kit you should get depending on the repairs you’re trying to tackle. For chips and cracks, the standard Kintsugi Kit will provide all you need to manage several repairs. Chips and cracks are typically simpler to solve for, and don’t require as many materials as more complicated repairs. For breaks and missing pieces, we recommend the Advanced Kintsugi Kit. While you can repair breaks with the standard Kintsugi Kit, the Advanced Kit has both red and black urushi, which makes the process of layering urushi much easier, providing better visibility. If you’re handling a repair with a missing piece, only the Advanced Kintsugi Kit will provide all the necessary materials to make kokuso, the substance used to fill in for missing pieces. Head to our link in bio to pick out the Kintsugi Kit that best suits your needs. #pojstudio #piecesofjapan #japanesecraftsmanship #craftsmanship #japanesecrafts #japanesedesign #kyoto #handmade #handcrafted #japaneseinterior #wabisabi #kintsugi #repair #gold #restoration #kintsugirepair #金継ぎ #creativeworkshops #kyotoworkshop

Incense plates like the Myoshu will keep a clean visual while allowing you to enjoy sen, leaf, and uzumaki incense. Want to turn incense into an experience?

Our incense is made in the birthplace of incense in Japan: Awaji Island. The process involves a delicate hand to avoid breaking the fragile pieces, especially when it comes to separating the swirl-shaped incense (uzumaki). With five scents and various formats, you can choose your aroma, burn-time, and accessories according to preference.

The days are warming up here in Kyoto, inviting us outside to enjoy the temperate weather. The windows are open and there are fewer boundaries between indoors and outdoors. It’s very easy to feel connected to the natural world in late spring, where daily activities like dining, socializing, and relaxing can be done just as easily (if not more enjoyably) in the open air. Wherever you are, we hope you’re getting the opportunity to enjoy this time of year before the intensity of summer sets in. #pojstudio #piecesofjapan #japanesecraftsmanship #craftsmanship #japanesecrafts #japanesedesign #kyoto #handmade #handcrafted #japaneselifestyle #springinkyoto
