Travellers visiting Tokyo in November can combine fragrance browsing with a design exhibition at CASICA in Shinkiba. The soca Collection 01 presentation runs from November 11 to 23, 2026, with a closure on November 16. Remembering the closure matters as much as saving the opening and final dates. The exhibition brings fragrance, everyday products and artists’ objects together; display does not guarantee immediate availability of every item.
Built around “Scent of the calm,” soca takes Japanese plants and the natural environment as its starting point. Its first collection was previewed at Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign in June 2026. CASICA therefore presents its first domestic showing in Japan, rather than a global debut. Separating the earlier presentation, the exhibition and the online dates helps visitors plan when to browse and buy.
Six botanical references, different everyday uses
The exhibition introduction lists kumazasa bamboo grass, mint, sansho pepper, wild rose, yuzu and hinoki. These are ways into the collection, rather than evidence that every product contains all six plants. They do not establish concentrations, longevity or ingredient percentages. Visitors can note the plants that interest them, then compare actual scents and individual labels at the venue.
Product categories include hand soap, scented multi oil and incense, covering different everyday contexts. A shared scent name does not make products interchangeable. Check the packaging for appropriate application areas, washing instructions and precautions when burning incense. This article reports the exhibition and has not tested the products; botanical references are not evidence of sleep, antibacterial or other health benefits.
Five makers connect scent with objects
The presentation also includes special collaborative works by five makers: reed-diffuser vessels by Yuko Irie, candles by Erika Suzuki, incense holders by Kouta Onoe, tea-incense burners by Dan Utsunomiya and drawings by Ayaka Sanuki. The objects make the exhibition relevant to how fragrance, its vessels and artworks occupy a home, rather than only which scent to choose.

Consider objects and everyday consumables separately. Someone refreshing a room’s fragrance may want a different combination from a visitor looking for an artwork or gift. An exhibited work is not necessarily available to take away immediately. Confirm dimensions, materials, quantities and shipping for each piece. Individual prices and stock have not been verified for this article, and no limited-edition quantity is inferred.
Exhibition and online dates are separate
The CASICA gallery event in Shinkiba runs November 11–23, excluding November 16. Online introductions are scheduled separately: soca products from November 11 at 11am Japan time, and artists’ works from November 18 at 11am Japan time. The earlier product date should not be applied to the collaborative objects.
For readers in Taiwan, 11am in Japan is 10am in Taipei. Before travelling, check the venue’s current opening information and event notices. Overseas buyers should separately confirm checkout availability, shipping destinations and transport restrictions. International delivery, reservations and admission charges have not been verified here; information absent from this article does not establish free entry, walk-in availability or direct overseas ordering.
