Concept store in temple grounds: timeless design, local foods
"Taking over a wooden building on the grounds of the 14th-century Bukko-ji temple, concept store D&Department selects products based on timeless designs and long-lasting quality."
"D&Department, a youthful shop housed in a 13th-century Bukkoji temple, focuses on designer housewares, kitchen goods, and foods. Conceivedby Kenmei Nagaoka, a professor at Kyoto University of Art and Design, and his students, the store sells products such assturdy tea mugs and glass tokkuri (Japanese sake sets), and highlights specialty, small-batch food producers whom they’ve met in person. The result is a special range of sesame seed oils, additive-free pickles, and heirloom misos and soys. D&Departmentwill occasionally include imported products that adhere to the founders'ethos, such asdurable Freitag bags from Switzerland, which are made from recycled truck tarps."
