Sonya Park's world of craft, clothing and quiet living

Cover

Featured in The Best Fashion Stores in the World

Arts & Science is stylist-turned-founder Sonya Park’s complete vision of a well-made life, spread across a family of small shops in Tokyo, Kyoto and beyond. What began in a Daikanyama backstreet in 2003 selling vintage finds now encompasses Park’s own label, alongside homeware, fragrance, craft collaborations and even a restaurant, each space built around only what she genuinely loves. The result is one of the most coherent points of view in global retail — quality over quantity, expressed through objects, clothing and the rooms themselves.

Store Locations:Tokyo, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Kamakura
