Zakkaya
On the way home from a quick visit to the Museum this morning, Big-P let me out on Johnston Street to drop in on the newly established Zakkaya. While he and Amelia circled the block twice, I managed to spend too much money on beautiful, handcrafted Japanese goods (christmas presents you know)- it was all like something right out of a Japanese craft book. I was in seventh heaven. While the stock was a little thin on the ground, it’s definitely worth a drop-in, for those with a penchant for zakka and a need for a little inspiration!

i was wondering what they sold in there. so that little elephant, what does it do? is it a brooch or decoration or something? i particularly like that cream corduroy fabric, very lovely.

it’s a little zip up purse. It’s kind of soft and squashy too. Lovely to hold.

Sounds like fun!

What a great idea! We have Little Tokyo in LA but someone has yet to open a Zakka store or at least have a Zakka Craft Fair. Anybody?

That elephant is too cute!
I’m really jealous right now.
