Early summer is here, making it the perfect time to enjoy handcrafts. 

We are pleased to introduce our new Kokeshi Needle Minder, launching on June 16, along with several of our signature tools that pair beautifully with it. 

Each kokeshi is carefully hand-painted by artisans, giving it a unique and endearing expression. We hope this charming companion will bring a sense of warmth and enjoyment to your time spent crafting.

— Keep Your Needles Close at Hand with the Power of a Magnet — 

Newly added to our collection, the Kokeshi Needle Minder is a charming companion for needlework, featuring a built-in magnet that keeps your needles close at hand. 

Whenever you need to pause your work for a moment, simply place your needle on the magnet. By helping prevent misplaced needles on your desk, it keeps your workspace safe and organized, making your crafting time more enjoyable.  

Each kokeshi is carefully hand-painted by artisans, giving it a unique and endearing expression. This palm-sized companion brings a touch of comfort to your desk every time you glance at it.

— Two Charming Companions to Enjoy Together —

The Kokeshi Doll Pincushion has long been a favorite in the Cohana collection. Paired with the new Kokeshi Needle Minder, they form an adorable kokeshi family. 

One provides a place to store your needles, while the other keeps them close at hand while you work. Together, they help keep your needlework tools organized and easy to use.

Choose matching colors for a coordinated look, or mix different colors to add a playful touch. Why not create your own little kokeshi family and give them a special place among your favorite sewing tools? 

— Bringing Beauty to Your Needlework Space —

Another pairing we would love to recommend is the Magewappa Toolbox with Embroidery Hoop.

Crafted from beautiful cedar sourced from Chizu in Tottori Prefecture, this Magewappa Toolbox with Embroidery Hoop is a masterpiece that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful design. The lid doubles as a 15cm embroidery hoop, which can be detached and used separately. Inside, you'll find removable dividers, making it easy to organize and customize your essential stitching tools.

Tools that share the same warmth of wood transform your everyday desk into a charming little atelier simply by being arranged together. Experience the gentle touch that only natural materials can offer — best enjoyed as a set.

Will you choose a color that matches your favorite tools, or try pairing it with a different shade this time?
Imagining all the possible combinations is part of the fun while waiting for launch day. Take your time and enjoy planning your favorite pairing.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Cohana Online Store from 10:00 A.M. on June 16.
