A Collaboration of Craftsmanship: Sakura Saku Kit by uka×HOSOO
This year introduces a special collaboration: the Sakura Saku Kit by uka×HOSOO. Born from a conversation between uka’s Kiho Watanabe and the 12th generation couple of Nishijin-ori (Kyoto’s traditional weaving) artisan HOSOO, this kit celebrates elegant beauty. The pouch features a luxurious textile woven with two shades of pink and gold, creating a pattern that shimmers like sakura petals in the spring sun. A vibrant blue inner lining, evoking a clear spring sky, adds a refreshing contrast. The kit is priced at 22,000 yen (tax included).
Delighting the Senses: The Expanded Sakura Saku Lineup
The 2026 “Sakura Saku” collection offers a comprehensive range of beauty and wellness items to usher in the spring season.
uka nail oil Sakura Saku
The uka nail oil Sakura Saku, priced at 4,950 yen (tax included) for 5mL, features an inner cylinder that mirrors the elegant textile design of the collaboration pouch. The outer cylinder is a soft, Somei Yoshino cherry blossom-inspired pink, finished with delicate Japanese paper and silver foil. The limited-edition pink frosted bottle with pink lettering is designed to add a touch of joy to everyday tasks, from typing on a keyboard to holding a pen.
uka lip balm Sakura Saku
Priced at 1,650 yen (tax included) for 5mL, the uka lip balm Sakura Saku comes in minimalist paper-only packaging. Formulated with 100% naturally derived ingredients, its gentle texture hydrates lips without stickiness. Key ingredients include argan oil, rich in Vitamin E, for moisture and oil balance, and beeswax for high moisturizing effects and skin flexibility. Each application offers a delicate scent, transforming it into a moment of relaxation.
uka incense Sakura Saku
The uka incense Sakura Saku, available for 4,400 yen (tax included) for 27 sticks, features a convenient short size with an approximate burn time of 15 minutes. Its compact cylindrical package even includes an incense holder, making it an ideal gift and an easy introduction to the world of incense.
uka scented candle Sakura Saku
For 5,280 yen (tax included) for 70g, the uka scented candle Sakura Saku is crafted from soy wax, a plant-derived ingredient also used in skincare, ensuring high safety. Compared to paraffin wax, it produces less soot and burns slowly. Its gentle flicker and calming aroma make it perfect for meditation or simply unwinding.
uka Petiume Sakura Saku
A new addition to the series, the uka Petiume Sakura Saku, priced at 7,150 yen (tax included) for 5mL, is a petite, friendly perfume designed for layering and enjoying on the go. This vegan formula boasts a 100% natural origin index (ISO 16128 compliant, excluding water) with organic wheat-derived ethanol as its base. Its scent evolves with the wearer’s skin pH and body temperature, ensuring a unique experience. The bottle itself features a charming pictogram reminiscent of sakura blossoms. This item will be released on March 6 (Friday).
