Compact treasures from Japan |
1581 Webster Street (Japan Center at the corner of Fillmore Street) San Francisco, CA 94115 +1 415 346 0748 |
Every available square inch of this store holds a treasure from Japan. Most are antiques, such as a ladies mirror and cosmetic chest made of chestnut wood from the 19th century. Some, such as the Shibu Kusa Kiln tea cups made by only one family in Japan, are modern, but almost impossible to find in this country. All are meant to be used, if gently. Prices vary from a few dollars to a few hundred, but there are some real bargains. They include ceramics from the oldest folk potter in Japan, also named Mashiko, which start at $30 and are exquisite both in form and execution. Review © 2009, Wcities |
