Product collectionsAs the relentless heat of Japan's summer lessens, autumn's milder weather also brings a multitude of events and activities to be enjoyed.
The foliage of trees, notably momiji (Japanese maple), turns vibrant shades of red transforming the landscape. This seasonal change is tracked in weather reports and on television as a kōyō (changing colours of the leaves) front as it progresses across the country, just as the cherry blossom is in spring, allowing people to judge when they can best time outings to see the finest display. Autumn offers a rich harvest of autumnal produce including chestnuts, sweet potatoes and pumpkins, while the smell of matsutake gohan (wild pine mushroom cooked with dashi and short grain rice) is the aroma of the season. As the nights get longer and temperatures drop, autumn is considered the ideal time to immerse yourself in a good book.
Explore our Autumn Collection to find a laser-cut paper model of an autumn scene by architect Terada Naoki, tea canisters expertly crafted from cherry bark, and hand-crafted, plant-based candles.

All the products selected for this range have received the GOOD DESIGN AWARD, an accolade given to designs that combine beauty with functional value that has the potential to improve situations for people and society, now and in the future.
At its conception in 1957 the GOOD DESIGN AWARD was the first and continues as the only comprehensive design evaluation and commendation system in Japan. The award seeks out elements of design that explore the following five themes: humanity, honesty, innovation, aesthetics and ethics. Award-winning products are distinguished by the use of the "G Mark," now widely recognized as a symbol of good design. Companies and designers from Japan and the rest of the world are invited to participate in the GOOD DESIGN AWARD process to maintain high standards throughout the industry and thereby increase the quality of life for all through design.

Design Discoveries is a conversation between Japan’s leading creators, sharing inspirational designs that span disciplines, regions and eras, to explore the possibilities of what a dedicated national museum for design might be. The exhibition brings together seven major designers, from filmmakers to architects, to consider what they would include in a permanent collection of design treasures.
To accompany the exhibition, discover a collection of publications on design philosophies, comprehensive monographs and contemporary pieces of work from the seven designers.
