Hanami
A daily meditation with Japanese art
Hanami pairs you with one Japanese masterwork every morning from a thousand years of Japanese art history. The collection grows weekly. The whole experience is built to feel like a private morning visit to a museum — slow, intentional, no clutter. Each work comes with curator-voiced audio narration and quiet editorial context. Curated journeys move through movements: The Floating World (ukiyo-e), The Rinpa School, Kabuki Theater, Flowers Birds Stillness. iOS only. Built solo from Toronto.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jun. I built Hanami solo over the past year from Toronto. You open it in the morning, spend a quiet minute with one Japanese painting — a Hokusai woodblock, a Hiroshige rain scene, a Yoshitoshi moon, a Jakuchū rooster — listen to a narrated note that opens up the work, its vocabulary, its history, the world it came from, and close it. The collection runs from Muromachi ink masters through Edo ukiyo-e into the Rinpa school and the Meiji-era prints of Yoshitoshi. I source from public museum archives and write the editorial notes myself, with help from art historians where I can get it. New works added weekly. A few things that mattered to me while building it: → No ads, no tracking, no sold data → No AI-generated art — every work is real, by a real artist, attributed → The audio narration is human-written, not generated copy → The whole thing is designed to be quiet — to take a minute of your morning, then leave you alone Hanami went live in the App Store this week and I'd love feedback. Happy to answer questions about the curation, the artists, the design, or why I think slow apps deserve more space.
