[Available in Limited Quantities] TEKOTE x Cohana Hand Care & Craft Set
A Set That Supports the Flow of Handwork—From Care to Creation
Story

TEKOTE, a care brand created by hair artist Tetsuya Yamakata, has partnered with Cohana to create a special set designed to support the flow of handcraft.
Set Contents
1. TEKOTE Hand Cream (MULTI CLAY SMOOTH)
A hand cream that gently cares for hands engaged in handcraft.
Its non-greasy formula and smooth, fast-absorbing texture allow for an immediate return to needlework without waiting.

One of its most distinctive features is its ease of use—the cream leaves no greasy feel even right after application, allowing you to return to needlework and other handwork without pause. This unique texture comes from montmorillonite, a natural clay sourced in Yamagata Prefecture.
Formed over time from volcanic ash in the soil of Yamagata, this clay is known for its remarkable ability to retain moisture. Drawing on years of research by the Montmorillonite Science Laboratory, this natural property is carefully utilized to create a light veil of hydration on the skin. It helps maintain moisture while helping to remove anything unwanted.

What sets it apart is its “Invisible Glove” sensation. Its unique, non-greasy texture absorbs smoothly into the skin, helping protect it from external aggressors. Enriched with plant-derived squalane, shea butter, and olive fruit oil, it delivers deep hydration to the stratum corneum, leaving hands supple and beautifully conditioned.
・Fragrance-free (no synthetic fragrances or essential oils)
・Made with naturally derived ingredients
・Preservative-free
2. Waxed Canvas Accessory Pouch – Irodori Check Pattern
Keep Your Handcraft Tools Neatly and Beautifully Organized

The outer fabric features a refined interpretation of TEKOTE’s signature lattice pattern, also used in its packaging. The inside is made from durable waxed canvas.
The pouch is highly versatile, adapting to different uses with ease. By fastening a snap button inside, it becomes a compact pouch that is easy to carry. When unfastened, it becomes a self-standing case for small items. The outer flap can also be extended to store longer tools such as crochet hooks.

The pouch is designed to fit inside the Waxed Canvas Tool Tote, where it can be used as a divider, much like the Canvas Pouch, helping to make better use of the available space.
The TEKOTE hand cream sits neatly with your tools.

To preserve the material's inherent beauty, we use fabric that has not been excessively bleached. Small brown or black specks may be visible in the fabric; these are natural cotton flecks, a unique characteristic of unbleached materials. We hope you will enjoy this gentle expression of its natural texture.
3.Needle Minder Rose Usubeniiro / Wakamurasaki
A Needle Minder Rose that Supports the Time Spent Handcrafting

Also included is the delicately carved wooden needle minder in a rose motif. With a built-in magnet, it securely holds your needle in place. Inspired by the meanings associated with roses—love, beauty, radiance, and passion—it is available in two colors.

“Usubeniiro” evokes a delicate gentleness and the warmth of sunlight on a spring day.
“Wakamurasaki” embodies a refined elegance, with a quiet strength and graceful beauty.
Both colors bring a touch of elegance to your time spent doing handwork.

▲ Both items shown above are in the color “Wakamurasaki.”
As this product is made from natural wood and handcrafted, each piece will show slight variations in its carved details and overall appearance.
Due to the nature of the material, the way the color appears may vary from piece to piece, and natural marks and knots in the wood may also be present.
These characteristics are part of the unique beauty of natural materials.
This set gently connects and harmonizes the hands and the tools—both essential to handcraft—bringing ease and comfort to your creative flow. It is perfect as a treat for yourself, or as a thoughtful gift for someone who loves working with their hands.
In this new season, we invite you to enjoy your handwork with these special items.
This pouch, featuring the original TEKOTE lattice design, is a store-exclusive item at TEKOTE shop. In-store, it is offered both on its own and as part of special combinations with Cohana tools. If you have the opportunity, we invite you to visit and explore the collection.

TEKOTE Hand Cream (MULTI CLAY SMOOTH) | TEKOTE / TOKYO
TEKOTE, created by a hair artist Tetsuya Yamakata, takes its name from the idea of “TE (hands)” and “KOTE (tools)” that support them.
The grid motif of the brand’s signature is more than just a pattern—it represents “graph paper,” a blank canvas for each user to freely express their own daily life and ideas.
Like the quiet intersection of people, moments in time, and diverse cultures, TEKOTE offers products that gently accompany everyday life while carrying craftsmanship and care forward to future generations.

Building on the refined techniques of danjiri float carving, Maeda Woodcarving Studio not only responds to each customer’s request, but also adds its own “Maeda touch +α,” creating works that go beyond expectations.
At the heart of their philosophy is the company motto “Chigyo Keta,” meaning to learn, put into practice, and use that experience for the happiness of others. This spirit is carefully passed down to apprentices.
With the aim of passing on Japan’s proud woodcarving culture to the next generation and to the world, each carving created by Mr. Maeda, a master danjiri carver, continues to move and inspire people today.

Handling Precautions
TEKOTE Hand Cream (MULTI CLAY SMOOTH)
-
Please observe your skin condition carefully during use.
-
Do not use on areas with wounds, swelling, rashes, or any skin abnormalities.
-
Avoid use around the eyes, on mucous membranes, or other sensitive areas.
- If any redness, swelling, itching, irritation, depigmentation (white spots, etc.), or darkening occurs during or after use, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider.
- Due to the delicate formula using natural ingredients and natural clay, moisture may appear, or there may be changes in color, scent, or texture, but this does not affect product quality.
Waxed Canvas Accessory Pouch – Irodori Check Pattern
-
This product is made of waxed canvas. When folded, the paraffin coating may crack and turn white, and lines known as “chalk marks” may appear on the surface.
- Waxed canvas has a firm texture and a slight wax-like scent at first, but with use, it will gradually soften and the scent will fade.
- For surface dirt, gently wipe the area with a slightly damp cloth, or use a white eraser to remove marks.
- For oil-based stains (such as fingerprints), use a soft brush with diluted mild detergent to gently clean the area.
-
To maintain the wax coating, we recommend avoiding washing the product.
If overall cleaning is necessary, gently hand wash the product. Please note that the texture and characteristics of the wax coating will be reduced, but the canvas will develop a softer, more comfortable feel.
- For dirt on the lattice pattern fabric, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth.
- Do not open or close the snap button roughly, as this may cause damage.
- The tag is made of genuine leather and may slightly stretch or shrink.

- Some stainless steel needles may not be attracted to the magnet.
Precautions for All Products
