Hi everyone!
This year started off a bit differently—just like it has for so many of us—with shifting plans and a few unexpected turns. Between that and juggling family commitments, my annual buying trip was delayed a little… but I’m finally heading to my homeland of Kyushu, Japan next week!
I’m so excited to return to where I grew up and to search for unique, handcrafted treasures made by local artisans. These small makers carry on generations of tradition, and it’s a joy to support them and share their work with you.
One of my favorite moments is showing photos and videos from pop-up events here in the U.S. to the craftspeople—especially the elderly ones. They get so excited to see how warmly their creations are welcomed abroad. It brings them real joy, and I love being the bridge between these two worlds.
For those on Instagram, I’ll be sharing stories along the way— please follow along for behind-the-scenes peeks and discoveries! And for those who prefer to stay off IG, I’ll be writing a blog posts after I return, so please stay tuned!
Please note:
*Orders placed after May 16th will ship between June 9–10.
*After that window, shipping will pause again and resume around late July.
Thank you so much for your patience and support—it truly means a lot.
Warmly,
Sachi
