What kind of "lifestyle" motivates you?

Until five years ago, I had never really thought deeply about my lifestyle.

I devoted myself entirely to baseball throughout elementary, middle, and high school, then served as a firefighter for seven years.

I was diagnosed with cancer at age 25, and for the first time, I had time to reflect on my life.

I grew vegetables in my garden and renovated a 50-year-old bonsai shed to use as living space.

During those days, I started searching for things that brought me comfort.

Then, when I wasn't sure what to do, I stumbled upon Kurashi no Doguten's drama "Hitorigoto Apron."

I was captivated by its worldview, and the moment I decided to create a place, however small, where I could embrace my lifestyle, was my starting point.

That's why this collaboration holds such special significance.

The Miraculous Reimagining Project of "Pomona"
ARABIA's classic "Pomona" collection has been re-released, exclusively for pre-order at Kurashi no Doguten.

This is a special piece, available only in Japan, at Kurashi no Doguten.

Behind this reimagining lies over a year of preparation,

and the determination to "bring this dish back to Japan at all costs."

When you know the story, even the weight of the item when you pick it up changes.

A single dish can change the look of a dinner table.

And, miraculously, it can even evoke memories and conversations.

It reminds us once again that "life" moves forward through the accumulation of these small, touching moments.

If you wish, please see the story behind this dish.
