The salon is a home for many homages: my mother’s table, Hanako’s pottery, cherry and camphor woods. And there, in the heart of it all, hangs Yuki’s noren curtain woven from local vines.
Last summer, I stood in a covered alcove of a barn in rural Vermont, holding a block of cherry wood, watching my mother work. Seventy-five years old, her hands weathered and strong — shaped by a lifetime.

ABOUT seventy two
Seventy-Two is a journal rooted in the ancient rhythm of Japan's micro-seasons, 72 subtle shifts that divide the year into small, poetic windows of change. Each one just a few days long. Each one offering a new way of seeing, tasting, and being within the world. Each one quietly asking to be honored before it passes.
