Wir möchten Ihnen die japanische Kultur näherbringen – so, wie wir sie durch unsere Mutter und Grossmutter erleben und schätzen gelernt haben. Auf dieser Seite finden Sie aktuelle Informationen zu besonderen Anlässen, Veranstaltungen und Neuigkeiten rund um unser Atelier in Zürich.
Japanische Teezeremonie im Suetsugu Haus
Die japanische Teezeremonie kombiniert Architektur, Kalligraphie, Blumen Arrangement, Szenographie und mehr – Es ist ein wunderbarer und tiefer Ausdruck von Wa (Harmonie), Kei (Respekt), Sei (Reinheit), Jaku (Stille). Wir laden Euch zum Weg des Tees im Suetsugu Haus – eine Reise die alt und neu, das Sichtbare und das Unsichtbare, das Materielle und Spirituelle verbindet. Geleitet wird die Teezeremonie durch Sobo Mulan Sun, eine Teemeisterin, Senior Lehrerin der Urasenke Tee Schule sowie Architektin der ETH.

Haircut mit Hiroyuki Sugihara
Hiro is a top-stylist who learned his craft over the course of 10 years in Tokyo, Japan. Afterwards he founded his own studio in Berlin which is a hair-salon and a gallery in one. While sitting in the chair and get your hair cut you can enjoy art installations and if you like, chat with the charming Hiro.
Monthly Pop-Up im Suetsugu Haus
Date: End of January 2026, to be announced
Knive Sharpening service
You can have the most expensive tamahagane knive – if it is dull you can‘t even cut through butter. So, what a joy to have a freshly sharpened knive. I trained in a restaurant in Japan mostly cutting fish and therefore sharpening my knives every evening after the shift.
If you have a japanese knive I am happy to sharpen it for you. I use a lot of sharpening stones (artificial and natural wetstones).
- Yo-knive, petty, santoku, bunka, gyuto -> CHF 19 (if no severe damage)
- Wa-knive, deba, yanagiba, usuba, kiritsuke, CHF 24 (if no severe damage)
Just bring your knive on a saturday during the regular opening times 12 – 17h or on any other day up on appointment. The knive will be ready in about one week.
Heiwayaki
Every Saturday (unless announced closed) we will serve Heiwayaki. An extremely tasty japanese pastry. It is filled with Anko (red bean paste) with beans from Hokkaido. We were chasing the recepe for Heiwayaki for over 1.5 years until we finally got near the original Heiwayaki sold only on Amino‘s asa-ichi every sunday.
Currently not on sale
We met artist Junko Wada in the onsen at Kotobikihama Beach. Shortly after, we had our first pop-up project in Zürich, where we served typical Tango food. In Junko Wada’s summer house in Tango, we also discovered a painting she had created, inspired by the wild sea and the stunning nature of Kyotango. For our showroom, Junko Wada reproduced the painting, and we attached it to four Fusuma sliding doors.
Kei Shimamura
Kei Shimamura started to learn to make japanese tea bowls for tea ceremony when she was very young. After 10 years of hard training she stopped the art of making tea bowls and moved to Kyotango to dedicate her life to her own art: the production of objects which don‘t exist.
Exhibition from June 1st – July 5th 2025 @ Suetsugu Haus
