Artist Highlight: Presented by Indosole

Tomoaki Ito | Deformasi Wasabi

Originally from Japan, Tomoaki Ito has called Bali home since 1999. From his studio in Canggu, he handcrafts Wasabi bags — a line of durable, timeless pieces that merge traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the spirit of surf, motorcycles, and travel. Each bag is made using rugged, repurposed materials and time-honored techniques, reflecting Tomo’s deep respect for process, utility, and design. His home workshop is equal parts creative refuge and functional atelier — a place where tools, texture, and lived-in stories shape every product.
