Yamazaki Home Spotlight with Siming Vautin

For the third edition of the Yamazaki Home Artist Spotlight Series, we sat down with Siming Vautin, owner of Niconeco Zakkaya in the East Village and Loaf on Paper in Williamsburg, to find out. After a decade living and working in Japan, Siming brought the philosophy of zakka, the art of finding joy in the little things, to New York City, and built a community around it. Whether you're a small business owner, a stationery lover, a Japan enthusiast, or someone who just wants to make their everyday life feel a little more intentional — this one's for you.
