Founded in Kyoto in 1949 and favored by maiko dancing girls and geisha, this Japanese beauty company serves up traditional beauty essentials—cosmetics pouches, makeup mirrors, oil blotting papers, and more—that are as effective as they are attractive. The Azuki Micrograins and Brown Sugar Soap helps clear clogged pores while gently exfoliating the skin and comes delicately packaged in white paper wrapped with red string.
