OGATA

OGATA is a global concept that defines a new sensitivity to daily life to conceptualise a way of being. Drawing on Japanese culture and traditions in harmony with nature, OGATA offers another way to live in our times: it is an invitation to discover daily practices with all their treasures, in a way that echoes their ancestral origins. OGATA is the expression of a new way of being.

Tea
Tea is medicine. OGATA strives to create a radically different, everyday experience of tea defined by contemporary forms.

Cuisine
Enjoying food means sharing it. Through the original OGATA take on cuisine, we aim to share this common consideration of ingredients, to cooking and to eating, in order to enrich the culinary habits of each region of the world.

Wagashi
The word wagashi literally means “Japanese sweets”. Each wagashi holds a symbolic meaning echoing a given time of the year, indexing a particular cultural reference, and very often accompanying a specific festival or ritual. At OGATA our intention is to make wagashi a small joy accessible in our daily lives—a reminder to pay attention to the passing of each season.

Craft
The OGATA vision for craft is simple: enriching our daily lives by offering functional, timeless, and long-lasting products made from natural materials. Our mission behind craft production is twofold: to enrich our everyday lives, while guaranteeing the transmission of crafting techniques to the next generation. By producing crafts for a worldwide audience, OGATA hopes to rediscover and open up new horizons for traditional Japanese crafting techniques—many of which face the risk of extinction.

Fragrance
At OGATA we believe a fragrance is a soothing remedy capable of balancing the senses and awakening memories, in perfect harmony with our body and its condition at a given time. OGATA intentionally resorts to the most archaic production techniques for fragrances in the hopes of regenerating our olfactory sensitivity.
