Story:
This year we were invited to the Tokyo International Gift Show, this was our first time attending the event, we didn't know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. We got to meet lots of makers and put in lots of orders (we can't wait to share it all with you over the coming months). To add to our first time experiences, we also travelled to Kanazawa for a little break, we explored gardens, museums and lots ourselves in vintage shops.
We also spent lots of times walking through our favourite markets in Kyoto, Osaka and places we found along on travels. We braved the cold winter mornings to find pieces that caught out attention, some of the best animals and lots of Matcha bowls.
