About

Where beauty rests in quiet moments.

Nahoko Press is an independent publishing practice based in Tokyo.

We publish carefully crafted books exploring Japanese coffee and tea culture, material knowledge, and quiet reflection.

Our titles include:

A Daibo Coffee Manual by Katsuji Daibo

Poems by Baisao (Tea Poems)

Printed on bamboo paper.

Made to be held, read slowly, and returned to over time.

Since 2014, our books have found readers in more than 30 countries across six continents. They are carried by independent bookstores including Mast Books and McNally Jackson (New York), City Lights Bookstore and William Stout Architectural Books (San Francisco), Daikanyama Tsutaya Books (Tokyo), and Kamisoe (Kyoto).

Every book begins with a simple belief:

Quiet moments deserve beautiful objects.
