Buddhist Bracelets
Buddhist prayer bracelets handcrafted in Kyoto by makers with centuries of continuous practice — Kobori Butsugu, established 1775, and Yasuda Nenju Ten, established 1683. Each bracelet is composed of 108 beads.
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.
