IKIJI was founded by a group of craftsmen from a ward in Tokyo renowned for its artists and craftsmen where the real soul of Edo lives on to this day. Historically, ‘iki’ is the aesthetic of Edo’s common people, where they enjoyed their own personal style and way of being with integrity. IKIJI’s craftsmen inherit the skill and uncompromising ethos of Edo’s artisans - channeling their pride in the smallest details - producing the highest quality products with a design and playfulness suitable for contemporary lifestyles.
