Japan in my heart

My love for Japan started with four legs and a bushy tail: my Japanese Akita. What was first a fascination with their dog breed quickly grew into a deep admiration for Japanese culture, aesthetics, and traditions.

About five years ago I first took the step to Taiko – the powerful, rhythmic Japanese drumming – and it turned out to be a hit. The energy, discipline and connection of Taiko touch something in me that goes beyond music.

That inspiration also seeps into my creative work. That's why Japan and Taiko get their own place on this webshop: with designs that pay tribute to the peace, power and beauty of Japanese culture..
