Fun, mochi-like texture, and sustainable! Our tri-colored konjac mochi trio feels like it's almost edible. The konjac sponges come from the Japanese vegetable root, making the sponges compostable after its use. Used as a gentle cleanser and exfoliator, the original (white) works for cleansing, the matcha (green) effective for energizing, and the charcoal (black) for redness and detoxifying. And better yet, it’s wrapped in a chic furoshiki (Japanese wrapping cloth) along with a daruma, a good-luck charm and goal tracker. Learn more about the daruma and it's significance here.
Gift a hydrating body oil that keeps her moisturized all winter-long. The best part about our dry body oil is that it’s filled with rich Tahitian tamanu oil, cannabidiol, and hemp oil, providing lasting hydration through the dry season.
In Japan, one holiday belongs to everyone older than you, on the same day, nationwide. What Keiro no Hi, an American grandmother's decade-long campaign, and a village of centenarians in Okinawa can teach about caring for the people, and the habits, you don't want to lose.
Same moon, same night — a Japanese viewer sees a rabbit pounding mochi; an American sees a face. A look at tsukimi (十五夜), the harvest-moon ritual behind Japan's most-written-about image.
Both countries set aside a day to tend the graves of the people who came before. Japan repeats it twice a year, for a week each time, until it stops being a date and becomes a rhythm. A look at Ohigan and a sunset ritual at Osaka's Shitenno-ji.
