Notes from Kyoto. Lace is everywhere in the city's taxis. Seat covers, headrests, rear shelves. It began as a postwar gesture of cleanliness and hospitality and never left.

Celebrating beauty through daily use. This is what we mean when we talk about Tomoni.

Handmade Bruges Lace Twin Bloom

Sourced directly from The Antwerp Lace Shop — the last lace shop in the city, now closing after more than three generations devoted to the craft.

Handmade using the traditional Bruges lace technique, this delicate piece features two blooming flowers connected by winding stems and ornamental curls. The open structure gives the lace an almost drawn quality, as though the motif has been sketched in thread.

We sourced only a small number before the shop closes its doors for good. Once they are gone, they cannot be replaced.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, Minato.
Completed in 1933 as the residence of Prince Asaka, who lived in Paris during the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs. The principal interiors were designed by Henri Rapin, the glass relief doors at the entrance by René Lalique. The building opened as a museum in 1983 and is designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
Original features include the porcelain perfume fountain by Rapin in the main hall, Lalique's chandeliers, geometric light fixtures and herringbone parquet throughout. The surrounding garden is part of the museum and included in admission.

Located in: Shirokanedai, Minato, Tokyo

S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream

Seoul has a way of raising the bar for skincare. Olive Young — the city's beloved beauty chain — stocks hundreds of products, but this one kept ending up in our basket. After visiting on our last trip, we got obsessed with the Moisturizing Cream by S.NATURE Aqua Squalane. Of all the creams we've tried, this one is just the best.

Hydration that goes beyond the surface. This cream from S.NATURE combines 150,000ppm ultra-pure squalane with eight forms of hyaluronic acid for moisture that's genuinely felt — not just promised. The patented Aquaxyl complex (glucose + xylitol) locks in hydration and keeps skin plump and supple throughout the day, without any heaviness or residue.

Vitamin B5 soothes and restores. The formula absorbs quickly, is free from preservatives, artificial fragrances and surfactants, and is well-suited for sensitive or reactive skin. Apply as the final step of your routine, gently pressing into the skin for full absorption.

Suitable for: dry, sensitive and mature skin — and any skin type in need of serious hydration.

Handmade Bruges lace basket

Sourced directly from The Antwerp Lace Shop — the last lace shop in the city, closing after more than three generations of a family dedicated to the craft of lace. This basket is handmade using the Bruges lace technique, a skill practiced by only a handful of artisans left in Europe.

We sourced a small selection before the doors close for good. Once these are gone, there are no more.

Each basket features a drawstring that brings it to life: pull it tight and the piece transforms into a three-dimensional object, ready to be presented with whatever filling you choose.

But, I can't keep running, Ektor Ntourakos

A face submerged in blue. Almost gone, yet unmistakably present. Where the Sneaker series dissolved objects into atmosphere, here it is a person that fades.

The title says what the painting won't. A moment of stopping, caught between movement and stillness. Ntourakos works from found imagery — magazines, advertising, urban visual culture — and transforms it through paint into something slower, more suspended.

His practice raises a question that runs through all his work: how can painting contribute to the discourse about the formation of public space? This work steps outside the Sneaker series, but carries the same inquiry. The urban subject turned inward. The blur as a way of seeing.

A singular work.

but, I can't keep running. Oil on canvas, Ektor Ntourakos, 2026.

Inspiration: Kahitsukan, Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art

Kahitsukan opened in Gion in 1981, a few steps from Yasaka Shrine. The building was designed by its own director, Yosh*tomo Kajikawa, across five floors plus a basement. Its name translates roughly to "why necessarily," a reminder to keep questioning fixed ideas about art.

On the top floor sits the Sun Garden, a small courtyard cut into the ceiling above a single maple tree. The opening was placed where the tree already stood. Moss, two pieces of rock, and the tree are left as they are, and the light on them changes through the day and the seasons.

In Japanese tradition, trees and stones are not treated as backdrop. Shinto belief holds that natural elements can carry their own presence, kami, worthy of respect rather than control. Kahitsukan's courtyard reflects that idea directly: the architecture makes room for the tree instead of the other way around.

It's the same principle behind how we choose materials for Tomoni. Lace with irregularities left in. Stone that keeps its rough edge. Objects treated as things with their own character, not corrected into something more convenient.
