About Banko-Yaki
Banko-Yaki is a Japanese ceramic technique local to the Mie Prefecture that embodies ideals of eternity and constancy. Dating back to the 18th century, Banko-yaki ceramics offer unique heat resistance and a beautiful, almost primitive composition. These handmade pieces continue to honor an ancient art in a modern world by reshaping tradition to fit the needs of the future.
Materials: Glazed Banko-yaki Planter: Clay; Juniper Procumbens Nana, Soil, Moss, Charcoal Bits, White Pebble Stones
Dimensions: Pot Dimensions: 6.69” Diameter; 2.36” Height
Care:
WATER
Watering is very important for the health of your bonsai. Water deeply when the top 1-2” of soil is completely dry, being careful not to disturb the soil. To help provide proper humidity, you may place the container in a tray filled with gravel and water.
PLACEMENT
Your bonsai is not a houseplant, and as such, it will grow best outdoors. During the spring, summer, and fall months, look for a location that receives diffuse or dappled light throughout the day. During the winter, it will become dormant. The Juniper variety selected in the starter (Juniper Procumbens ‘Nana’) is very cold hardy and can tolerate freezing temperatures. However, when temperatures become significantly cold (less than 14°F), overwintering techniques can be used to protect the roots. These techniques include moving it to a protected (but unheated) area like a garage, storing it in a refrigerator, or burying the roots (pot and all) in the ground.
PRUNING + TRAINING
Pruning and training your bonsai with scissors and wiring requires a dose of creativity and will vary depending on your personal preference. We encourage you to explore this concept further and develop your own approach and philosophy.
FERTILIZATION
To encourage continued growth, you may choose to apply a diluted all-purpose fertilizer (e.g. 10-10-10 NPK) during the growing season.

Re.Lana Towel
$ 95.00
Wrap yourself up airy plushness. Re.Lana is an environmentally kind update to our feather-soft and breezy Lana towel. It utilizes scrap cotton byproducts that would otherwise end up in a landfill while remaining every bit as absorptive as it’s 100% organic cotton sibling. Just one bath towel upcycles 179g of discarded cotton, minimizing CO2 emissions and reducing the use of water and dyes in the process.
About Kontex
Kontex has been crafting high-quality towels in Imabari, Japan since 1934. Each towel is made from fine, garment quality thread that’s loosely twisted for the highest level of softness. Because such threads would break on modern machines, Kontex towels are gently woven on traditional, low-speed looms to maintain the integrity of the thread and achieve a level of softness that current machines cannot reproduce. Since towels are used against the skin, it’s imperative that no abrasive substances remain on the surface of the towel. Kontex textiles are carefully washed with large quantities of fresh spring water from the melted snow of Mt. Ishizuchi, ensuring every thread remains free from impurities.
Materials: 50% Recycled Cotton, 50% Organic Cotton
Dimensions: Washcloth: 16.5” L x 15.7” W; Hand Towel: 33.5” L x 15.7” W; Compact Bath Towel: 43.3” L x 19.7” W; Bath Towel: 57” L x 31.5” W
