A letter from us to you
A new phase, continued stories
To those who have stayed with us, visited us, or followed our journey from afar.
Maana began with the restoration of a single machiya, Maana Kyoto. As we slowly expanded to not just a collection of spaces, but a gathering of people, stories and rituals, we found ourselves endlessly inspired by the masters who welcomed us into their worlds, and by our guests who gave new life to our spaces.
Each phase deepened our relationship with time. Kyoto truly has a way of returning you to what matters. The beautiful moments in between.
We began asking what it would mean to build a new home from the ground up, while carrying all the stories with us, from the past to the present.
We look forward to sharing our findings with you in this new project, Maana Annex.
