Buddhist Bracelets
Buddhist prayer bracelets handcrafted in Kyoto, Japan. Kobori Bugutsu, a 14th generation family business established in 1775, previously worked on the restoration of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Yasuda Nenju Ten, established in 1683, is among Japan's most respected Buddhist nenju makers. Each bracelet is composed of 108 beads, corresponding to the 108 worldly desires in Buddhist tradition.
Soft Furnishings
Ready-made soft furnishings handmade in our studio in Carmel by the Sea. Each piece is crafted from natural and heritage textiles — handwoven cottons, block-printed gauze, artisan fabrics sourced from India and Southeast Asia, as well as conventional fabrics. Designed for everyday living with an emphasis on material quality, texture, and longevity.
