The Fermenstation brand was born from a decidedly forward-thinking no-waste mentality.
Organic brown rice is cultivated in formerly abandoned paddies and fermented through natural processes to produce ethanol and lees; any byproducts not used to create their natural skincare line are used as livestock feed or fertilizer instead.
This "circular society" is more than just eco-friendly: It produces uniquely beneficial soaps rich in readily absorbed nutrients and skin-pampering oils that leave you looking - and feeling - as clean and fresh as the ingredients they contain.
The beautiful Flax Line Organics collection was designed and created with an artisan’s touch. Each towel features two sides stitched together with care - a smooth cotton gauze front and a terry pile back made from 100% organic cotton. Their compact design makes these towels highly absorbent, quick to dry, and incredibly comfortable for travel or daily use. With a classic herringbone accent and subtle color palette, this bestselling collection effortlessly blends elegance and function.

Hailing from the Yamanaka region of Japan, where lacquering has been practiced since the 16th century, the Gato Woodworks collection comprises beautiful cups, bowls, and decor born from traditional processes requiring the highest level of skill.
Through meticulous cutting, carving, shaving, and lacquering, Gato’s artisans manage to mold wood into works of art that pay homage to their arboreal origins. Each lightweight piece showcases an exquisite wood grain unmarred by the production process and is as functional as it is beautiful.
Learn more about the Gato Woodworks collection HERE and in this video introduction.
*Please note: Due to the artisanal nature of Gato products, all styles are made to order. Please allow 8 to 16 weeks for delivery of out-of-stock products. Additional details regarding lead times will be provided upon placement of an order. Contact info@morihata.com with any questions.

Japanese tradition says that tea harvested on the 88th day of spring – a day known as Hachijyu-hachiya – is not only the most delicious but also a source of good luck.
This organic tea is picked on that date and pairs a bright, youthful taste with a fresh springtime aroma.
Made from 100% cotton, the Haikara Little Handkerchief features a smooth, brightly colored front and a soft, loose-weave pile backing designed to quickly absorb moisture.
A washable, eco-friendly alternative to paper tissues, this everyday staple can be used year-round to stay comfortable on warm days or clean sensitive noses during allergy season.
The Haikara Handkerchief proves especially handy when dealing with little ones' daily messes and conveniently fits into even the smallest pockets.
