[Ginza TSUTAYA] How about your special note? Notes made of natural wood carefully selected from all over the world

2020.03.24

First landing in Japan. A note made of “real wood” that highlights the beauty of 10 natural trees carefully selected from around the world. A handmade dish using natural wood by the London-based brand “Bark & Rock”.
The brand’s first-selling product in Japan is a novel notebook that makes use of the characteristic patterns of various trees to create a “tree” as a notebook. The wood used is collected from all over the world, and the most attractive and beautiful looking parts are processed and manufactured.

Each expression is different depending on the tree varieties and the environment in which they grew up, so this is exactly one point. The more you use it, the more it tastes, the more its texture and color change over time, the more attractive it becomes as you become your own. The notebook inside is removable, with ruled lines and solid refills (sold separately). You can use it for a long time, not just once. The package has a classy design with a British atmosphere, so it is perfect for gifts.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
