It's not that vintage items are "valuable" simply because they are vintage; I believe there's a good reason why mass-produced items from decades ago continue to captivate people even now. Why aren't acrylic rugs and polyester blankets sold at high prices, touting them as vintage? I think the...
BasShu's patchwork quilt is based on Amish quilts from the early 1900s. Among American quilts, Amish quilts vary depending on the era and community background, but a major feature of Amish quilts is that they are made from solid colors. And the patterns have few curves, making them...
The last day of my stay in Portland was a "golden hour" for research. "Work exists in play. So, when you play, be serious." When written out like this, it sounds like something an overly aggressive CEO would say, but it's also a favorite saying of the BasShu...
Starting today, gift wrapping is available at the BasShu official online store. Of course, it's BasShu original packaging. The bag is a craft bag that was originally used for cement. It's hard to convey in the photos, but the thick, rustling kraft paper has a double-layered structure, giving it a...
I went to Portland, America, currently the hottest city, and stayed at the "ACE HOTEL", a favorite among industry insiders. Of course, my first cup of coffee in the morning was third-wave coffee. I went on a business trip that was so annoyingly "Sounds so stylish." Moreover,...
Next up is the Cabinet Covering Denim. Because the office lighting is warm, it appears a little blurry, but it's a bright indigo blue. The fabric used is 10oz Okayama denim. After sewing, it undergoes a wash process to bring out the unique denim qualities of puckering and fading....
CAMO, made from a light and durable cotton-nylon fabric. There are many different camouflage patterns, but I found the "serious" military patterns a bit too intimidating.So, I opted for a more subdued pattern that can be enjoyed as part of the interior.The basic specifications are the same as OLIVE.*Left side*Right sideThe...
Clothes. We just can't stop buying them, can we? Why is that? Even though we have more than enough to last us a lifetime. No matter how old I get, my desire for material things just doesn't fade away. I thought that once I reached a certain...
Unfazed by moves, unfazed by spring cleaning, the magazines that survived being thrown away. Among them, my collection of BRUTUS's special features on living spaces has grown quite a bit. They're not about interior design but about "living spaces," a perspective that sets them apart from trends,...
Rush grass is amazing. It's not just for summer. By the way, BasShu's rush grass rugs are 100% natural rush grass from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture. As expected from a natural material with 1500 years of history. It's packed with powers not found in ordinary carpets or synthetic...
"When it comes down to it, tatami is best for summer." "...Tatami. Hmm, tatami..." "Have you ever used one? They're really good. I use one every year." "...Hmm. It certainly seems cool, butI can't really imagine myself using one.Like, my grandma's house had them, but... aren't...

Bandanas seem to be a trend this season. It is said to have originated in the late 16th century when Mexican cowboys and farmers wrapped them around their necks to protect the collar area of their collarless shirts, which they wore daily. Later, it spread to sailors, crossed the...
The day after the ROSEBOWL FLEAMARKET, I had a local guide me to various shops in LA. BROOME STREET GENERAL STORE A general store with a cafe in SILVERLAKE. Hmm, how should I put it... it's quite common, but guidebooks portray it as an absolutely wonderful shop. When I...
The Rose Bowl Flea Market, which I had wanted to see for a long time. Arrived at 5 AM. I had heard that it would be packed with serious buyers as early as 4 AM, but in reality, at 5 AM, many stores were still setting up, and there...
BasShu's bed linens are all originally made from Banshu-ori fabric. This is to ensure a soft and comfortable feel from the moment you fall asleep until you wake up in the morning. And also, to not compromise on design. Perhaps a certain weave texture would look great with this...
