Japanese Homeware & Handcrafted Everyday Objects.
Mujo Store is centred around efforts to reconnect with the everyday, the functional, the beautiful, the ritual, as well as makers and their stories. We aspire to a slower more mindful way of life, and focus on creating handwoven textiles and hand-built ceramics; as well as sourcing honest objects for the home and body from Japan and further afield.
Supporting craftsmen and artisans to continue traditions which have been handed down over generations.
