Tradition Woven into Everyday Elegance

Temari

A cherished craft, reimagined for today.

Originally enjoyed as handcrafted toys, temari have evolved into a beloved form of Japanese decorative art, admired across generations.

This kanzashi (hairpin) was created to bring that cultural beauty closer to everyday life. Each temari is made with carefully selected threads, chosen by expert threadmakers. Thanks to this attention to quality, the vivid colors resist fading over time—offering lasting beauty with every wear.

Hemp Leaf

Asanoha

A symbol of strength, growth, and protection

The Asanoha pattern is a traditional Japanese geometric motif made of repeating hexagons, inspired by the shape of hemp leaves. Often seen in Buddhist artwork and classical design, it carries deep cultural meaning.

In Japan, hemp grows fast and strong—making Asanoha a symbol of healthy growth and resilience. It has long been used to wish for the well-being of children and to ward off evil.

This timeless pattern is not only meaningful as a personal keepsake, but also makes a thoughtful gift for celebrations, milestones, or souvenirs.

Delicately handcrafted with curated threads, one stitch at a time.

Small Temari & Tassel Charms

Each piece is carefully handmade by Japanese artisans—featuring miniature temari stitched with precision, delicate thread-wrapped beads (itodama), and elegant tassels with a silky sheen.

Created using threads specially selected through the eyes of expert threadmakers, these small ornaments carry a quiet beauty that reflects craftsmanship, color harmony, and tradition in every detail.

A Bloom of Subtle Elegance

Cosmos

A single motif, endlessly expressive through color and craft.

Each temari is stitched with wishes drawn from Japan’s rich natural beauty and cultural tradition. The cosmos pattern, while consistent in form, reveals a different personality with every color combination—delicate, radiant, or quietly refined.

A poetic reflection of seasonal change, harmony, and the artistry of variation.
