Until now, I have been delivering my "favorites" found during my travels through my online shop and Instagram.
However, I still want you to experience them firsthand and feel them in a physical space.
With that in mind, I have prepared special days, a few days a month, to welcome everyone to Amenoié.
I hope this time allows you to slowly appreciate the texture of the vessels and tools, along with the way the light enters and the air flows.
It's been a typical rainy season recently, with continuous gentle rain.
The plants in the garden seem to have soaked up plenty of rainwater and have grown noticeably larger.
It's almost been two years since I started experiencing the seasons here in Kagurazaka.
The people I've met through Amenoié, the warm artisans, and the tools that color my daily life.
I have been able to come this far, supported by many precious connections.
In the hope of delivering my gratitude,
we will be holding various events in July.
7/11 (Sat) - 7/12 (Sun)
Hand-knitted Basket Exhibition
To celebrate our 2nd anniversary weekend, we will be holding a basket exhibition on our open days.
For this occasion, I have collected many of my favorite hand-knitted baskets, which are indispensable in my daily life.
From akebi and bamboo baskets to vintage baskets that have aged beautifully, a variety of baskets with different expressions will be on display.
Also, on this day, original handkerchiefs will be unveiled.
It's been two full years since I moved into this house.
I have met many artisans and tools.
These handkerchiefs depict my favorite items encountered here, drawn onto a single piece of cloth.
(I will tell you the detailed story behind these handkerchiefs at a later, more leisurely time.)
It's the first weekend of summer.
I look forward to welcoming everyone.
7/17 (Fri) - 7/19 (Sun)
Sota Ohara × LAN Two-Person Exhibition
The following weekend, a joint exhibition by ceramic artist Sota Ohara and glass artist LAN will begin.
Ohara's earthy vessels possess a profound expression within their quiet, plain surfaces, reminiscent of stone.
LAN's glass creations have a beautiful presence, as if capturing the ripples of water or air.
Though made of contrasting materials, both embody the unique comfort created by nature and harmonize beautifully.
Please come and find your favorite piece to add a refreshing touch to your summer life.

うつわの数だけ広がる楽しみ
食器棚を眺めて わが家の食器棚には、これまで職人さんたちと一緒に形にしてきたうつわたちが、すっかり毎日の定番として並んでいます。 日々のなかで「こんなものがあったらいいな」と感じたことをきっかけに、日本各地の窯元や作り手を訪ね、色やかたちを試行錯誤しながら作ってきたうつわたちです。陶器や半磁器、漆器など、自分たちの暮らしの変化に合わせて少しずつ作り足してきました。 料理をよそうたびに、自然とわが家の食卓へ馴染んでいく心地よさ。今ではどれも、毎日の食卓に欠かせない存在になりました。 ひとつお気に入りが増えるたびに、食卓の景色もやわらかく広がっていくような気がします。 揃えて使う心地よさ 気に入ったうつわは、ペアで揃えたり、いくつかまとめて迎えることが多いです。 同じうつわをふたつ並べたり、色違いで合わせたり。かたちが揃っているだけで、食卓がすっと整う心地よさがあります。 いつものふたりごはんにも、気心知れた友人を迎える日にも。いくつか揃えておくと気負わず使えて、気づけばいちばん出番の多いうつわになっています。 組み合わせる楽しみ 素材やかたちの異なるうつわを組み合わせるのも楽しみのひとつです。 素朴な陶器に白い半磁器を合わせたり、落ち着いた色に鮮やかな色を添えたり。組み合わせ次第で、食卓の雰囲気も変わります。 料理に合わせてうつわを選ぶ日もあれば、使いたいうつわから献立を考える日も。いつものうつわも、合わせ方を変えると新鮮に感じられます。 うつわの選び方や組み合わせ方ひとつで、食卓の楽しみが広がる。そんな小さな変化が、毎日の暮らしを豊かにしてくれるのかもしれません。 Vol.100を迎えて そんな食卓の風景や、家での何気ないひとコマ、旅先で出会ったもの、ものづくりの現場で感じたことなど。日々のあれこれを書き留めてきたこの日記も、今回で100ページ目を迎えました。 日記に書き留めるなかで、何気ない日常にある小さな喜びに、私自身があらためて気づかされることが何度もありました。 言葉にすることで、見慣れた毎日が少し違って見えてくる。そんな日々の愛おしさを知ることができたのも、100ページを重ねてきたからこそだと感じています。 これからも、日々のなかで心に留まった景色を、飾らない言葉で綴っていけたらと思います。 ヒビノコトVol.100記念キャンペーンのお知らせ ・期間：11月1日（日）〜...
