Tetsuya Osawa's words leave me with the same serene and gentle impression that his works do. They are the words of someone who has carefully built up his craft, one piece at a time, while confirming what he is capable of and what he can sustain without overexertion. Rather than being solely the product of the maker's thoughts and creativity, his works gradually take shape through interaction with users and the market. This calm approach is also evident in the very presence of his ceramics.
VERNACLE GATHERING #05, our third permanent exhibition, was held for three days from Friday, March 20 to Sunday, March 22, 2026. The venue was in Ogikubo, a new location for us, and the event was a success, allowing us to connect with new customers. Next, VERNACLE will hold its first "TRUNKSHOW #01" from Thursday, May 28 to Sunday, May 31, 2026, at "08COFFEE", a coffee roastery in Akita City, Akita Prefecture. This time, we will be focusing on mugs and carefully selected items perfect for enjoying coffee at home or in the office.
"VERNACLE GATHERING #03" was held in Yoyogi Uehara from Thursday, December 18th to Sunday, December 21st, 2025. Over the four days, there was a sense of unity, almost like a village, and I think customers enjoyed communicating with each exhibitor! Then, for three days from Friday, March 20th to Sunday, March 23rd, 2026, we will hold an exhibition in Ogikubo as "VERNACLE GATHERING #05." The venue, Ogikubo Gallery, is also a wonderful location, so we hope you will come and visit.
We hope to recreate, at least to a small extent, the unique atmosphere of weekend markets overseas, where a miscellany of cute and lovely things mingle. We have prepared plenty of serendipity (wonderful coincidences) that will give you hints for a richer life, so please come visit Yoyogi Uehara for four days from Thursday, December 18th to Sunday, December 21st, 2025!
This event will bring together not only artists and creators, but also buyers, media representatives and other professionals from various fields to discuss lifestyles over a glass of wine.
Brown Supply is an original brand that embodies VERNACLE's theme, "Life & Journey." In an age where things and information are overflowing and just living can be exhausting, we collect "things you need to feel comfortable and spend each day in a good mood."
Before creating something, first you must think. Why am I making this? Why this shape? Why am I releasing it to the world now? For Yoshimitsu Nakazono, creating something seems to mean never letting go of these questions. Contrary to their approachable pop aesthetic, Nakazono’s works are imbued with the quiet strength that only those who constantly contemplate possess.
The first exhibition of 2026, "VERNACLE GATHERING #04", VERNACLE planned the final event for Roppongi Hills' "gKEYAKIZAKA," which closed on January 23, 2026. VERNACLE believes that the essence of tableware is to make food look beautiful and delicious. "An exhibition of two artists who are loved by food" Keicondo and Jin Hiraoka On the final day, We also recorded the interview.
Hiraoka Jin is a ceramic artist based in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture. He calls himself a potter, loves food and sake, and uses his travel experiences as inspiration for his pottery making. His lifestyle offers a glimpse into the essence of richness. He values the feel of his work in the hand and the texture of his mouth, and continues to create everyday tools that naturally blend into the everyday dining table.
We visited a market held in the city of Arezzo in Tuscany, Italy in 2024. We thought it would be fun to hold an event like this in Japan, so we are planning this event. The participating brands will be from a wide range of genres, with 18 brands, the largest number of exhibitors to date, so in the first half we will introduce exhibitors such as food (coffee, craft beer, bread).
We held VERNACLE's real-life event, "VERNACLE Gathering #2." The next event will be a year-end party! We're expanding the scale of this year-end special, and we hope to create a lively atmosphere that will make you feel like you've wandered into a market overseas, so please come along!
"Hikimono" is a traditional Japanese technique of carving wood into round shapes to create tableware and furniture. "Hikimonojo 639" continues to produce modern output with its own unique interpretation while preserving tradition. As the number of craftsmen decreases due to the trend toward mechanization, their techniques and creativity are attracting attention from around the world.
