In consideration of sustainability, we have rethought and changed our packaging materials.

At the moment, we are gradually shifting the materials used for packaging your purchased products to rice resin, which has less impact on the environment. Rice Resin is a domestic biomass plastic derived from rice that is inedible. A new technology is used to upcycle old rice, crushed and damaged rice, and other forms rice that is not suitable for human consumption or as animal feed and is otherwise discarded. Because rice resin plastic is made from plants, it holds carbon-neutral properties that does not affect the increase or decrease of carbon dioxide.

Arts & Science has been committed to environmental initiatives by using cloth bags for its shopping bags since the beginning. In recent years, we have been trying to be resource and become more environmentally friendly. We have developing upcycled products using leftover fabric, changed the strings of our clothing tags to undyed organic cotton that is recycled, downsized the size and type of tag tags themselves, and have provided spare buttons and fabric available to purchase when needed by customers. We are committed to being resource and environmentally friendly.

Steve Harrison's research, "The Age of the beaker," focused on the beaker, an ordinary object used in everyday life. Steve Harrison mastered its form and function of the beaker from his unique perspective. The result of this journey is the “Meal beaker.” This special collection of 12 ceramic and 12 porcelain pieces will be sold at our online blind auction. In conjunction with the auction, there will be an exhibition of works at WHITE BOX in Tokyo and CORNER in Kyoto.

After three years of research, the final shape of the beaker was made with two flower-shaped legs on the bottom that angles with the third base being the body of the vessel. The beaker naturally tilts and you can look into the inside. Please take a look at the items through this blind auction titled, "A Journey's End.”

Included with each auctioned piece is a Japanese-style booklet in a box, bound by karakami craftsman Koh Kado of KAMISOE, which traces the history of “The Age of the beaker.” This special set with the booklet is only available at this auction. Bids will be accepted on the special online page and at the exhibited gallery spaces.

We will hold a duo exhibition for Kyoto-based florist “Mitate” and the Gifu-based antiques, crafts and antique dealer “Honda,” at Arts & Science’s gallery space, WHITE BOX from April 28 (Friday) to May 7 (Sunday).

Both Mitate and Honda will be at the shop for the first two days of the event. On these days, wildflower seedlings will also be available for a limited time sale.

This exhibition is a bonding of each brand’s activities based on their own aesthetic senses, without being bound by frameworks. We look forward to seeing you at the exhibition.


“Mitate (likening) ” is a method of expression in which one thing is shaped to look like another, creating value and discovery of a new value in an object. At Mitate, we have been exploring new perspectives that can be expressed with plants while valuing this ideology.

At this 10th anniversary year of Mitate, we are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting with Gifu-based Art and Antiques gallery “Honda” at WHITE BOX, produced by Arts & Science in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo.
In this exhibition, we will present a number of "yoseue" (a collection of seasonal wildflowers planted in vessels for flowers), selected by Honda's vision. We hope that you will enjoy this aesthetic where the richness conveyed by the old vessels and the air of the fields and mountains expressed by a single flower resonate with each other.

In addition, we plan to also present gardening tools, vases, and wildflower seedlings.

We look forward to welcoming you all in this beautiful season of fresh breezy young leaves.”

― Mitate


“We are presenting seasonal plants and trees by a florist's fresh hands to flower vessels of Western crafts and old folk tools from the East and West.
For this exhibition, we have curated European white glazed ceramics, ancient glass, domestic and Oriental earthenware, and medieval pottery pots, all of which made to be in harmony with the WHITE BOX gallery space.

The selection ancient vessels with imperfections enhanced by flowers, and a number of technical pieces and gorgeous pieces have been selected together especially for Arts & Science – a place that always presents contemporary and outstanding works of craftsmanship.

And how will the vessels resonate with the lovely wildflowers?
We hope at this event, the collaboration will have another new impression from the event we held together two years ago at the Kyoto for Mitate. We strive to make a vision, a landscape that is always yet to be seen.”

POST is an art bookshop specializing in international books, which opened in 2011 in Yoyogi, Tokyo and moved to Ebisu, Tokyo in 2013. POST features books divided in categories of publishers, and POST has already introduced about forty publishers specializing in art books.

As we move into a time where people and events are finally returning to normal, we are hosting a pop-up shop, “POST in KYOTO” at &SHOP KYOTO. It has been four years since we have hosted an event for POST.

The experience of holding the book in one's own hands and turning the pages is an important element of art books. The expressions conveyed in this action is an experience that goes outside of merely reading the information recorded in books. Particularly since the 2000s, art book expression has been changing at the same speed as the Internet. In recent years, art books have become even more diverse and are taking on the role of art that can be easily accessed.

Visiting a physical store has also changed over the past few years. More people feel that finding something they were looking for or didn't know they were looking for, picking it up, and having a conversation with the staff in a store is a more valuable experience than simply purchasing a book on or offline.

In addition to art books published in recent years, POST will also have multiple copies and works by artists who have held exhibitions at POST. This is the perfect Spring season in May to visit “POST in KYOTO.”


〈FEATURES〉
This pop-up will be divided into three installments, each featuring a different book with a different theme, with POST's own unique perspective. The selection of books will change on May 12 and May 22 according to the various concepts. Please look forward to each installment.
Sachiko Morita studied sculpture at Musashino Art University before going to Ecole Beaux Arts in Nantes, France. She began photographing objects, before leaving Japan. To this day, she continues to experiment on her own using traditional materials and devising her own unique printing methods.
Her process begins by making her original paper for photography by applying a photosensitizing agent with a brush to Italian watercolor paper. 35mm film camera photos of flowers, objects, etc. are taken in natural light are burned onto this photographic paper using an antique enlarger. She then removes the photosensitizing agent as if she is painting shadows with water and a paintbrush. This is why the intuitive, hand-drawn like outlines of her subjects that characterize her work reveal two sides: a photographic side that captures a moment in time, and a pictorial side that is completed over time as she defines the lines and shadows. In “Time in Air, Time in Paper,” 51 works made by these techniques are selected and organized into a book.

Starting Friday, May 5, A&S Fukuoka will host the first pop-up event for Japanese jewelry brand, "noguchi BIJOUX".

“noguchi BIJOUX” produces jewelry with wearable styles for every day wear. The collection aims to blend naturally with the owner’s personal style. Arts & Science has presented their collection every since the brand was established.

In addition to the new lace motifs, this event will feature a rich variety of jewelry styles, including swing type earrings and delicately designed necklaces. The combination of gold with a subdued luster and subtly sparkling diamonds make each piece blend in with the skin like a familiar piece of clothing.

Please visit our shops to try on the jewelry in person. We look forward to seeing you.

The wood furniture of Bobby Mills has been featured at Arts & Science since 2021. In our second exhibition of Mill's work at Arts & Science Daikanyama, we will present a collection of seventeen new pieces that includes dining tables, benches, and stools.

With the new pieces, Mills explores of the possibilities of combining the colors and tones of different woods. The seat or top of each piece is made from dark-toned English brown oak or walnut oak and the base from a lighter-toned English oak. Mills incorporated rare woods into the collection – some up to nine-hundred years old – and constructed the pieces to showcase the grain structures and unique features of each wood.

Larger pieces were designed for the smaller living spaces that are typical in Japan. For example, the legs of the dining table are angled inward to minimize the footprint of the base.

Mills will be present for the exhibition, which offers a rare opportunity to hear the master craftsman's thoughts about his work and unique wood sources. Please join us for this enlightening experience.


“This will be my first time in Japan, so this is a very special trip for me. It has always been important to me to build deep and meaningful relationships with my partners and customers, many of whom are now friends. Trees have brought people together for thousands of years. We have built our homes with them, gathered beneath them, found guidance in them, and, for me, they continue to connect me with people in these enduring ways. I see the pieces I create as a part of my being. They carry my artistic voice and come from my soul. To meet those who invest in these pieces, who connect and find resonance with the objects I share in Japan will be wonderful.”

An exhibition for wood lacquer artist Kenichi Seki will be held at HIN / Arts & Science, Nijodori Kyoto.

Seki who is inspired about Japan and Korean antiques does shape his work in the same bold and simple way, however there is always a new charmful characteristic added owned to Kenichi Seki. In Wajima, the way to make wood lacquered items are done divided by each task. It is rare to see an artist like Seki who performs the all steps from process of wood to lacquering on his own. His personality is reflected in every corner of his work, including the shape, carving, and lacquering. He has mastered the Japanese technique of wood carving called “kurimono” where he carves out from a single block of wood to create a shape. In this way the characteristics of the wood in former form translates to the carved work he makes fluently.

At this exhibition, we will present for the first time a work with a urushi lacquer in a color called 〈Kikuchi (red with yellow tones) 〉 which celebrates the long-awaited colors of spring.　We will also present his other new styles of work and basic collection of wood pieces. We invite you to please see the wooden pieces in person. We feel this is a perfect stop to take while taking a refreshing springtime walk.



“When the yellow flowers are in full bloom, you can feel the warm arrival of spring.
After the long winter in Hokuriku, the scenery is like a symbol of long-awaited colors.
Red and black are the standard colors of lacquer, but there are variations within these color fields, particularly red. I would love for you to take a look.

The launch of our long-awaited new perfume will begin on Friday, April 7, 2023.

The fragrance WOOD LAND was created in response to the experience of living in Tokyo, where Sonya Park, Founder of Arts & Science, craves trees and the natural landscape. She wondered, "What would an oasis of woodland smell like in central Tokyo?" And Lyn Harris immediately had a vision for a cleansing fragrance: Woodland, a healing, green escape from the homogeneity of the concrete cityscape. We hope you experience this sense of escape when you wear it on your skin.

WOOD LAND fragrance: With wood notes, the scent opens with bitter orange and gradually develops notes of eucalyptus, black pepper, and moist moss. As if walking through the cool fog of the forest, the finish slowly envelops the wearer in the sensory experience of juniper, cedar, sandalwood, and frankincense.
If you enjoy layering scents, this fragrance is in the same wood family as INK, RAIN WOOD, and INDIAN WOOD.
Fragrance concentration: 20%

*Handblown glass bottles by glass artist Michael Ruh are also available. The bottles are amber in color and made especially for Arts & Science’s WOOD LAND fragrance. Click here for details

From Friday, March 17th, at WHITE BOX, we will hold an order event for Cosi Tabellini, an Italian homeware brand that proposes product designs that relate to a modern lifestyle.

Pewter is a metal that is rather simple to process due to its low boiling point, and because of its aesthetic beauty, the material has long been used suitable for tableware and other daily homewares. From the 14th century to the 17th century, England became the center of this industry, and in the latter half of the 19th century, during the Arts and Crafts movement and the Art Nouveau era, various items were released in pewter shaped by its distinct characteristics.

Cosi Tabellini uses this pewter material, rooted in its European culture, to propose products that relate to a modern lifestyle. Although the finish seems very product-like and has a sense of unity, each finish has a unique taste because the process always involves the skills of traditional Italian craftsmen.

At this order event, we have an array of works that are not usually introduced at Arts & Science, including tableware of plates, mugs, and cutlery, flower vases and candle holders. There is no other place in Japan showing these different styles from Cosi Tabellini. We invite you to please find this rare occasion to come and visit the shop to make your personal order.

“I have continued to develop items that are necessary in a lifestyle setting.
Vessels continue to be the main part of my work. However, this time I have newly made a style of canes and a set for an espresso lover.
A set of small cups and small plates are made for six, in a wooden box.

The cane is an item that will be necessary for some within old age.
I have look around for the perfect cane, but I have not yet met one that I appreciated.
I have had increasing requests for a style of cane to be developed, and I finally decided to make one of my own.
The cane should be delicate and narrow, light weight, but strong enough to support your bodyweight.
To meet these needs, I made the surface a triangular shape.
The material is walnut and Sakura wood, both finished in urushi to be weather-proof.

The Espresso set is nice to have when greeting guests.
The set can also be used to enjoy distilled spirits and teas.

This exhibition is like expresso, tightly packed in a mere three days.
A coffee stand will be held on the 2nd floor, please feel free to casually drop by.”
