696 is a place for carefully curated ceramics, vessels, and objects by selected Japanese craft-men and designers. We offer handcrafted, fine quality and material-first objects, and we’re proud in our effort to lead the way in offering small-scale sustainably produced goods that at its core celebrate tradition. Our mission is simple. Appreciate the daily act of gathering around a table, in sharing a meal, in a quiet act of gratitude and conversation, or a joyous expression of celebration. With old friends and loved ones, or new people and new connections. Enjoy the daily ritual and treat each meal sacredly, an act, a ceremony that binds us together as humankind. It should never be taken for granted, and we hope to provide objects that encourage such occasion, every day.
