Absolutely. And let us show you how<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to immerse yourself into Japanese culture there\u2019s no better day than the 3rd of November which marks the national holiday of Culture day in Japan. The significance of this day is to celebrate the Arts, Culture, and Academic endeavours that have moulded Japanese society to the current day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally the 3rd of November was a holiday held in honour of the reigning emperor\u2019s Birthday<\/a>, Emperor Meiji, from the year 1868 to 1912. After his passing, it ceased to be celebrated, until 1948 when the government announced that the 3rd of November would be a day to celebrate Culture day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

Fun fact: it falls statistically on the clearest days of the year<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

End the day with gratitude and a visit to our Pop-up store @ 88 Regent<\/a> Street<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love culture and Art. They are the very aspects of life that mould our sensibilities and showcase our rich histories. It is important that all cultures are celebrated and championed without discrimination. If the pandemic has taught us something, it\u2019s that Hate never prevails as community and culture REC-onnect us with the important things in life. Food, art and culture are sources of comfort, innovation and stories that root us down and lead to a more constructive future.  So no matter your background, you are rooted in the human-ness of being able to connect, construct and imagine a future with one another. In light of the past year, check out the link for resources to #StopAsianHate<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome you to our pop-up concept store 88 Regent Street<\/a> where we can offer you onsite-customisations, a browse through our one-of-a-kind sustainable pieces or even a friendly Yoroshiku. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
