The event will be held at Gallery Venichu, located on the first floor of VENICHU CO., LTD.'s Kyoto office—a renovated traditional Kyoto machiya that preserves the area’s historical and cultural heritage.

The design philosophy of architect Mr. Mouri (Kamogawa Architectural Workshop)—"layering personal history upon the building’s history"—deeply resonates with tokono’s vision of furniture made from domestic timber that grows more beautiful with long-term use.

We invite you to experience the unique charm of wooden products born from Japan’s forests in this serene Kyoto setting.
