The story behind one of our most loved labels 🖤

Our MUKASHIHANASHI Teshibori YUZUSHU label is inspired by the story of an ‘Inch Boy’ which goes…

Once upon a time…
There was an aged couple yearning to have a child. Finally, they had a lovely boy who never grow bigger than one inch.
One day, he decided to visit the palace in Kyoto and used his rice bowl as his boat, his chopsticks as his paddle and the sewing needle for his sword to the capital Kyoto...

The design came from the talented woodblock publisher UNSODO in Kyoto, whose business dates back to 1891. They’re the only publisher who specialises in woodblock prints, and their archive dates back 300 years. Such amazing history 👀
