AZABU is a town known for its vast Samurai residences and merchant quarters, representing a fusion of cultures.
The Edo Shogunate (1603-1868) was the longest period of Samurai governance in Japanese history and was a peaceful era.
This stability allowed Japan to develop a unique culture and traditions, which strongly reflected the lifestyles of the successful citizens rather than the conventional Samurai or aristocrats.
Our design practice is deeply informed by traditional handicrafts.
We embrace the unique creativity of Edo artisans; their worldview is reproduced in our collection, crafted by the skilled artisans of Sabae.
