This past summer, we celebrated my daughter’s second birthday with decor inspired by Kodomo no hi (Children’s Day) in Japan.

The trio visits Tokyo once or twice each year to source antiques and ceramics and collaborate with artists.

Above mix and match tableware are traditional masks and framed Handmade Koinobori Posters.
The posters are a collaboration with Danish StoltzeStudio, who restored old Japanese drawings into unique prints on hahnemühle paper.

After visiting Japan on Kodomo no hi, the owners became enchanted with koinobori decor. They contacted the manufacturer of traditional paper koinobori in Japan and have worked together ever since producing the modern designs from Ohayo.
