This is a small gem of a shop specializing in traditional iron teapots of excellent quality at equally excellent prices. There are traditional designs, such as boxes and pumpkins, in the usual black, dark green, or dark ochre, but there are some unusual colors, too (robin's egg blue). Iron stands, iron cups, and iron chopstick holders are also available. Also on hand are some extraordinary incense burners in iron and bronze, some are antique such as a magnificent one in bronze, almost a foot high and engulfed in the undulations of a delicately rendered dragon. The owner can also tell you the history of Japanese ironware.
