This summer, Heath Ceramics is bringing Kyoto to San Francisco with a month-long celebration of some of Kyoto’s celebrated makers. For centuries, Kyoto has been a refuge for artisans upholding ancient forms and techniques. Today, it continues to support a vibrant community of craftspeople who adhere to—and advance—long-standing traditions. Craft From Kyoto celebrates this uniquely Japanese cultural enclave, and showcases work that embodies its boldly creative spirit, its respect for tradition, and its resistance to industrialized efficiency in favor of high-quality, hand-crafted goods—values that Heath holds dear.
Throughout June, makers from Japan’s cultural capital will set up shop, sell their wares, and lead workshops inside Heath San Francisco. We’re kicking the festivities off with an opening party on June 7th, where you’ll see the collection of products, enjoy assorted Japanese snacks and drinks, and get the chance to meet Takahiro Yagi from Kakaido, Toru Tsuji from Kanaami Tsuji, and Aya Matsumoto from Ima Tea.
