When I first saw Sori Yanagi's cast iron sauce pan at a small Japanese boutique stand at Manhattan Village Mall called Uzu in person, I fell in love with Sori Yanagi. And I've been discovering more of his products, and I'm always amazed and surprised with his genius design and sensitivity for usability. It's rare that product itself makes you think and smile.

We have a kitten now :) Her name is Shuu. Shuu means fall in Japanese (that's when we found her)... and she also has white paws which makes her look like she's wearing white shoes :D
