Cohana's Unique Collaboration with Aitor Saraiba
In an exciting blend of art and craftsmanship, Japanese handcraft tool brand Cohana has teamed up with renowned Spanish artist Aitor Saraiba to unveil the limited edition "Pocket Weaving Can," set to launch on November 5, 2025. Known for its high-quality handmade tools, Cohana has a legacy that reflects Japan's rich tradition in craftsmanship. The release of the Pocket Weaving Can will mark a distinctive milestone in their product line, showcasing the collaboration's essence.
Meet Aitor Saraiba
Aitor Saraiba is a versatile artist based in Spain, celebrated for his multifaceted expressions across various mediums, including drawing, ceramics, textiles, and painting. A graduate of Cuenca University, Aitor's work often incorporates natural elements, reflecting his deep connection to the materials he uses. He raises his own sheep, spins wool, and dyes it with natural colors to create stunning yarns. This artistic philosophy resonates in his collaboration with Cohana, promising a product that weaves together his gentle creativity and Cohana's commitment to quality.
The Pocket Weaving Can
The "Aitor Saraiba x Cohana Pocket Weaving Can" will retail for 3,600 yen plus tax, exclusively available at Cohana's Nihonbashi flagship store and online. This special set is not just a product but a treasure chest filled with weaving joy. The kit includes:
- - Special Yarn: Three colors of exquisite wool spun and dyed by Aitor, each measuring 2 meters, beautifully wrapped around Cohana’s popular tochi wood bobbins. The graceful curves of these handcrafted bobbins add a touch of warmth and elegance, making them a perfect complement to the beautiful yarn.
- - Pocket Loom & Thread Set: A mini weaving machine, comb, and needle make this kit ready for immediate use. It comes with five types of cotton threads, each 2 meters long, ideal for weaving.
This meticulously crafted can is not only a fantastic introduction to the art of weaving but also serves as an ideal gift for loved ones, allowing them to enjoy the therapeutic process of handcrafting.
Work with Aitor Saraiba
To celebrate the launch, Cohana will host workshops on November 7 and 8, featuring Aitor Saraiba. Participants will have a rare chance to engage with Aitor's artistic vision and create their own works alongside him. The workshops promise to be inspiring and collaborative experiences. Moreover, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase the Pocket Weaving Can on-site.
Expanding Horizons
Coinciding with Saraiba's launch, Cohana will also introduce the "DMC x Cohana Pocket Weaving Can White" on the same day. This collaboration features a limited edition white can filled with delightful embroidery tools. These special editions from Cohana showcase their commitment to not only high-quality products but also to innovation in design.
Tradition Meets Modernity
Cohana was founded in 2016, drawing on 70 years of history and expertise from KAWAGUCHI Co., a pioneering manufacturer of sewing tools in Japan. Their products reflect the marriage of traditional techniques and modern design, offering handcrafted tools that are both practical and elegant. The Pocket Weaving Can represents this ethos, merging art, tradition, and functionality seamlessly.
As Cohana continues to innovate while honoring handmade practices, the Pocket Weaving Can stands as a testament to their dedication to quality and creativity. With limited quantities available from November 5, this launch not only highlights individual artistry but also signifies a celebration of shared craftsmanship between two passionate creators.
