Calling all Mini Monster Makers!

Join us on Wednesday 29th October, 10:00am–12:00pm at tokyobike Shoreditch for a Creative Kids Workshop with Moonhead Studios, the brilliant duo Andrew Rae and Chrissie Macdonald.

In Kurume on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, Kuwano Shinken Sangyo Co., Ltd. continues the deliberate rhythm of weaving. Guided by the philosophy “From a single thread, we create value that connects hearts and times,” the company sees fabric not just as material, but as a record of touch, care, and continuity.

Kaori returned last weekend for another indigo dyeing workshop, thanks to everyone who joined us and a special thank you to Kaori for sharing her knowledge and creativity!

Kanazawa, on Japan’s west coast of Honshu, is known for its Edo-era districts, gardens, and rich arts and crafts culture.

On a cool autumn day, some of the tokyobike team set off from KUMU Kanazawa, where guests can rent tokyobikes, for a quiet ride through the city, taking in the nature and culture woven throughout. Travel like a local.

A big thank you to our incredible guide and forager, FlavourFred, for a thought-provoking, flavour-packed ride and to everyone who joined with such curiosity and enthusiasm.

Several prominent Japanese industrial designers emerged in the 20th century, most notably Sori Yanagi. They helped establish Japan as a global design force, blending traditional aesthetics with modern manufacturing during the post-war economic boom.
