Care & Aging
Looking for a travel bag that isn't a backpack: the CaBas sashiko (Japanese quilted stitching) woven bag, perfect for a compact one-night trip
A member of our staff had noticed that backpacks had become her default choice for domestic travel, and she was starting to feel that they made her outfits look too sporty. So, while looking around for a bag to carry through the upcoming spring holidays and Golden Week, her eye happened to land on the "Gardening Bag" from CaBas. Along with a review of this well-loved item, we also asked the brand's director about the appeal of sashiori weaving.

This time, we're featuring the MATEVARI Fukiurushi (wiped-lacquer) bowl by Gato Mikio Shoten, a piece that two ZUTTO staff members have come to love and use daily.

The Mystery of Tableware That Grows With Use: Do You Know the Charm of Kohiki (White Slip-Glazed Pottery) Plates?
