Introducing products from the "Sen" Vol.01 Cambodia Exhibition
MON's online store has a lot of unusual products. Those of you visiting our online store for the first time may be surprised.
In addition to holding solo exhibitions and pop-up store projects with artists, MON also has an original project called "Sen". The project allows us to travels abroad with collaborators.
For the fist Sen Project, photographer Mitsuyuki Nakajima and MON owner Nakao Mitsutaka traveled to Cambodia. At the Cambodian exhibition, we sold cotton scarves called krama, pottery made in Kampong Chhnang province, Krong Kampong Chhnang, and antiques.
Chroma S Plain Orange ¥2,000
Krama is a versatile cotton fabric that is breathable and can be used as a jacket on slightly chilly days, or as a towel in Cambodia. MON stocks a wide variety of colors and types of krama.

Krong Kampong Chhnang Pottery was developed with the aim of reviving Cambodia's unique glazed pottery culture while incorporating Japanese techniques such as Mashiko pottery. It is also microwave and dishwasher safe.
Antique silver sheep accessory case ¥50,000
A silver accessory case from about 100 years ago that we found in an antique shop in
Toul Tompoung Market, also known as the Russian Market. Cambodian silver products were once developed by royal families who trained specialized craftsmen for religious ceremonies, and the techniques are still passed down today. It can be used as both a figurine and an accessory case.
