The team behind our machiya renovation is hard at work. It’s exciting to see more progress every time we visit. This new space is designed to be an homage to traditional materials and Japanese craftsmanship — and that starts with the way that it’s renovated. There are many details that reference the long legacy of craftsmanship we’re a part of. As we get closer to revealing the vision of the completed space, we hope you’ll continue to follow along. #pojstudio #piecesofjapan #japanesecraftsmanship #craftsmanship #japanesecrafts #japanesedesign #kyoto #handmade #handcrafted #machiya #machiyarennovation #kyotomachiya #kyomachiya

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

Mugi is the glue that holds everything together when you’re repairing a break with Kintsgui. This simple tutorial will show you how to get Mugi right every time. The key to a good mugi is the consistency: it should look and feel like chewing gum by the time you’re done. That’s how you know it’ll be strong enough to hold the break together.

The history of textile in Japan spans high and low culture. From rich silks and brocades that have been handed down for generations to utilitarian methods of extending the life of a jacket or blanket for one more winter, the emphasis is on longevity. Beyond aesthetics there lies a history of people, place, and ingenuity. In our assortment, material takes center stage. Explore the Japanese Textile Collection to discover contemporary interpretations of heritage textiles. #pojstudio #piecesofjapan #japanesecraftsmanship #craftsmanship #japanesecrafts #japanesedesign #kyoto #handmade #handcrafted #japaneselifestyle #japanesetextile #japanesefabric #igusa #japaneserug #silk #sashiko #totebag #sashikoembroidery #noren

Green has returned to Kyoto. The city’s signature lushness has filled in now that we’re well into spring. If you want a recommendation for where to go to appreciate the natural surroundings, we are always big fans of Honen-in. Located close to Ginkaku-ji and the Philosopher’s Path, this temple has a removed and calm atmosphere. It welcomes visitors with an iconic thatched gate and its evolving sand garden that changes with the season. We encourage you to add this lesser-visited shrine to your Kyoto itinerary if you haven’t had the chance to explore it before. #pojstudio #piecesofjapan #japanesecraftsmanship #craftsmanship #japanesecrafts #japanesedesign #kyoto #travelkyoto #kyotorecommendations #japaneselifestyle #honenin #japaneseshrine #wabisabi #sandgarden

You asked and we delivered: announcing our Advanced Kintsugi Apprentice Program.

We visited the workshop of @doubledoublefurniture, the artisan behind our ebony wooden cutlery. Each handle, tine, and serrated edge is completely carved by hand. The identical look and feel of the utensils — as well as their level of precision — can only come from an artisan whose craft has been honed to the level of instinct. The ebony wood lends a sophisticated appearance, and the density of the wood offers a nice heft to each piece. The wood is also gentle on glazed ceramics, preventing scratches to the finish of dishware.
