Kamila founded Oishya after a trip to Sakai left her unable to look at a supermarket knife the same way again. She splits her time between Europe and Japan, working directly with the bladesmiths whose knives the shop carries, and writes about the people, workshops and small rituals behind Japanese craft, the parts that never fit on a spec sheet.
