We are excited to host the release of Derek Hunter Wilson’s third solo album, “SCULPTURES" with Beacon Sound and Megalith. In addition, he will be join with a solo set by Dao Strom. We will be serving tea and Luke Wyland will be curating a playlist between sets.

Tickets at the door: $10-20 (all $ to artists)

“SCULPTURES" is an ode to the ancient and contested shorelines of the Pacific Northwest. Deeply embedded in place, the six longform pieces that make up the album reflect the artist’s journey through grief (including losing his father) and the passage of time, each one built upon loops created from extended sessions with harpist Joshua Ward. Like the foggy, moss-encrusted locations that inspired the album, Sculptures has a timeless feel to it, shadowed by the rumblings of a colonial system in decay.”

We’re excited to host our first incense-making workshop at the Fumi space.

Together we’ll learn about the history of incense in Japan (and beyond), experience rare aloeswood (jinkō) through the monkō practice of listening to incense, and make all-natural incense cones using special materials, including a sandalwood endemic to Hawai‘i.

Limited seating. Click the button below for more info and to register.

Temari sushi are small, hand-shaped sushi balls inspired by traditional Japanese embroidered temari toys, topped with colorful ingredients and designed to be eaten in one or two bites. In this small group workshop taught by Jane Hashimawari of Ippai, you will learn how to make temari sushi, complete with recipe, ingredients and some to take home! Jane will also be making miso soup to share with the group. Bring a small cutting board, small knife and your creativity!

Do you sando? Do you dango? Welp, look no further, we have a tasssty treat in store for you. The good folks at Soen will be popping up at the shop on Sunday 3/1 (12-2p) and serving up a specialty tamago sando (egg salad sandwich) using local pasture-raised eggs, yuzu kosho butter, and buckwheat soba (with possible gf and vegan options ~ details to come). Additionally they will be offering dango (rice flour dumplings) with toppings like pnw grown azuki beans, kinako (soybean flour) with Okinawa brown sugar, and Cardamom coconut anko (azuki bean paste)!

We got the chance to try their tamago sando at a lovely event at Golden Hour a few months ago and fell in love with their thoughtful take on this Japanese convenient store classic. We have long been fans of Soen. Their approach to cooking is cozy, nuanced, surprising, and features an abundance of locally sourced ingredients. We highly suggest you check out their cafe downtown in Courier Coffee Roasters. 

We are excited to host the Public Nature series run by choreographer and performer Danielle Ross. It includes artists working across disciplines including dance, experimental performance, sound, and text. Meant to stay on the move in terms of place and people, Public Nature aims to bridge disciplinary communities, foster a scrappy, head first approach to performance, and allow for a risk-friendly space for artists to show improvised or in-process work.

This installment brings three beautiful artists together. Each of their work holds depth in textured ways. Please also welcome back Gregory Flores (Seattle) to Portland. Don’t miss this one!
