20 October 2026 collection · Three ideas to make Japan your own.

Fumi illustration: A serene Japanese textile workshop scene featuring several freshly dyed indigo lengths hanging vertically, subtle shibori resist patterns, deep blue cloth catching soft light, natural wood floor and simple dye-work tools visible out of focus. No humans or hands. Sophisticated close-to-wide editorial framing with authentic irregular fabric texture, exquisite blue palette.

Find beauty in everyday cloth

🧵 A beautifully made cloth can hold a memory of Japan. Look at the weave, the depth of colour and the small variations that give it character. Choose something you will use at home, so the pleasure of finding it lasts beyond the journey. #FumiJapan

Fumi illustration: Premium still-life photograph inside an unnamed small Japanese craft shop, three distinct handwoven bamboo baskets of different subtle forms on a low dark wood shelf, one folded cream cotton cloth, soft window light casting intricate basket shadows. Detailed bamboo joinery and fibres, warm gold and umber tones, no retail labels, no brand logos, no people.

A useful souvenir

🧺 A market find can be useful as well as beautiful. A small woven basket, a wooden tray or a well-made everyday object may become part of your routine. When shopping in Japan, think about the life a piece will have after you bring it home. #FumiJapan

Fumi illustration: An intimate refined Japanese lacquerware shop display with a lustrous deep red lacquer bowl and black lacquer tray on a natural cedar counter, folded protective wrapping paper and simple care card with no readable text, an elderly shopkeeper softly blurred in background without identifiable face. Warm side light reveals depth and tiny reflections, restrained luxurious composition.

Ask about the maker

🎁 Before choosing a craft piece, ask about its maker and how to care for it. A small conversation can turn a lovely object into a richer memory. Take your time with Japan’s craft shops. The story may be as interesting as the piece itself. #FumiJapan
