Searching all of Japan for handcrafted items that express its heart and soul, our proprietor, KASHIYUKA, presents things that bring a bit of luxury to everyday life. This time she visits a factory in Tsukidate-machi, Fukushima prefecture, where a modern weave known as sashiko-ori is made, and she meets the one artisan in all of Japan who is making it.

  • Sashiko-ori, a traditional craft of the northern Tohoku region of Japan, is made on specialized machinery. Kenichi Ohazama is currently Japan’s sole artisan making it, and our shopkeeper, KASHIYUKA, is fascinated by the spectacle of thousands of strands attached to the machines in his workshop. “It feels like being inside a grand piano,” she says.
