One of the best boutique gift and housewares shops in the city. An absolute cornerstone of the international district. If you are looking for rare and hard to find this is your place. Offerings include mass market in a highly curated presentation as well as one of a kind artist made gems.

WOW. A Huge shop/gallery where you can actually buy everything you see/learn about. Perfect for something unusual and beautiful for the person who has it all or hard to shop for people. Features a def Japanese vibe but there’s something for everyone including handmade cards, jewels, ceramics, wall art and also fun novelty items like tiny good luck porcelain cats, coffee table books, T’s, scarves, Natural curiosities, etc. A lot of fun to explore.

I stumbled into this place when taking my cousin out to show her Seattle. She had just returned from living in Japan. We wandered in and I was bummed I had not known about this place sooner. It is a gorgeous and fascinating store. My cousin loved it as well. Ill tell anyone that will listen. I bought a few shirts and plan to return for Christmas gifts. They didnt have my size in a couple of the shirts so they contacted the artist who sent more in my size. To much stuff to rave about. I loved it

One of Seattles unique gems of a retail experience. Rare Japanese products mostly gravitating towards art and home decor. Store staff is attentive and friendly. I went there to buy a nice lacquer jewelry box for my fiances birthday and ended up picking up a cute card too. Will definitely be back. You will likely need to pay for parking.

Adorable spot with great home decor. One of the few places you can get Hasami porcelain in person. The service was excellent and they have an interest and well curated collection of items. Worth a visit.

Cool spot, not a lot of options for this sort of store in day to day life. But the policy of having to cover your other shopping bags with plastic is very weird (and I dont think would actually help prevent a determined thief)

This store has an array of unusual, tempting, design and art items. Expertly curated selection of scarves, local jewelry, pottery, books, housewares, lacquer, carefully selected Japanese items, and many other things to delight the eye. There is always something new here. A perfect place to pick up a gift.

I’m absolutely over the moon about this Japanese Gallery/Shop. They have an array of housewares, apparel and artwork from local artists. The items are expensive, but I find that it is worth it when supporting local artists. It’s a huge place and worth making a trip out for. The staff is also very helpful and friendly.

Small Japanese art gallery and boutique shop. If your looking for a unique robe, original art prints, or local art then this is the spot for you. Can be a little pricey but definitely fun.

I really love this little place for unique gifts. It specializes in whimsical Japanese imports. Imagine if MUJI sold artisan goods. Lots of things from books to art to yukata to homegoods, many of which come from local and international artists and small businesses who are inspired by Japan.
