Our store embodies all things homeware and gifting, with an emphasis on beautiful Japanese made goods and tableware which is exclusively imported directly from Japan. We have an ever-growing range of products and brands from Japan including stationery, incense, chopsticks, textiles, water bottles, kitchenware, hair accessories, books and matcha! Our shelves adorn a selection of beautiful tableware featuring modern Asian designs on traditionally crafted Japanese ceramics. The process and techniques used today are the same as they have been for generations, with the clay sourced by local makers from a huge basin within the Gifu Prefecture on the main island of Honshu. Each piece, no matter how similar, is unique in itself as it has been skilfully made and glazed by hand.
