Our Yarn Shop stocks the Cohana brand, a Collection of exquisite, high-quality tools and accessories for crafters, knitters and makers, handmade by artisans in Japan.
Cohana is a brand of high-quality handmade tools created by KAWAGUCHI Co., Ltd. in collaborations with local industries and artisans in Japan, utilising the experience and knowledge of developing handicraft tools cultivated over many years since its establishment in 1953.
Cohana develops products that are creatively designed, easy-to-use yet highly practical. Cohana aims to be admired not only by handmade lovers, but also by those who prefer unique and original stationery goods.
By producing products, Cohana hopes to connect traditional techniques and knowledge to the future and revitalize the production regions.
Cohana uses traditional Japanese colours that reflect the changing of the seasons - yellow, green, pink, grey and blue. Colour also produces limited edition seasonal products. For example, the Sakura range is produced each March to celebrate the flowering of the national flower of Japan, the Cherry Blossom Tree.
The brand name Cohana'is derived from the goddess Konohanasakuya from Japanese mythology. Konohanasakuya is beautiful like the blooming of cherry tree blossoms, ;and worshipped as a goddess of Mt. Fuji, the symbol of Japan, and symbolises prosperity.
Cohana products are handmade by artisans from all over Japan (sorry no translation available on this image)
