Japanya at Japan Day

We had a fantastic day in Liverpool last week running a stall at JSNW's Japan Day.  A big thank you to all our customers.  We are now looking forward to our next event: Hyper Japan at Earls Court (July 26-28th)!

New super cute mini daruma have arrived!

We have just received a shipment of  mini daruma. We will be taking these to Liverpool to sell on our stall at the JSNW`s Japan Day on 1st June.

The default colour for daruma is red; however, daruma are now being made in different colours with the colour of your daruma being relevant to the task you are undertaking.

Both eyes of a daruma are initially blank.  When setting out on a task, the owner paints in one eye. Once the task has been fulfilled the second eye can be painted in!

We will be listing these mini daruma on our website soon.  For the time being you can purchase a red and white daruma pair or a green and blue daruma pair from our Amazon marketplace shop.

Popular Crane and Peony Kimono now available in red and yellow

Our beautiful purple Crane and Peony Kimono with its bold design has proved extremely popular.  We are now stocking this design in red and yellow.

Hyper Japan Coming Soon!

We will be running a stall at Hyper Japan (Earls Court, London 26-28 July). Tickets are available to buy in advance from their website.  We will be bringing along a selection of new products including these cute miniature lucky cats.  

The colours of these lucky cats have the following meanings:

Take a look at the second-hand haori jackets we have added to our website.

Haori are waist-length jackets designed to be worn on top of yukata or kimonos. They also make excellent additions to western style clothing, worn as part of either a casual or smart outfit.
