Next stop? Literally a bus stop. The Sabus is a discontinued public bus that's been retrofitted with a sauna. It's currently traveling across Japan, making stops in different cities. Earlier this month it was in Nagoya and right now it's in Tokyo!

Veggie Bonsai

Lastly, we're obsessed with these new gachapon capsule toys that re-imagine vegetables as bonsai. From scallion and asparagus to broccoli and cauliflower, the collection consists of 5 varieties of veggie bonsai that have been pristinely shaped into sculptural forms.

tidbits from all corners of Japan

Spring is in the air

We've curated a special spring collection of some of our favorite ways to bring everything we love about this season, into our home. Pictured above is the sakura crinkle candle, a fragrance inspired by hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of viewing cherry blossoms. To the right is the sakura sola cube, featuring the rare ohkanzakura.
