It’s already April and our first debut at the Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday, April 10 is approaching fast! We will be in the “Ginza Marketplace” of the festival, which is between Pennsylvania Avenue & Constitution Avenue and between 14th street and 10th street. Our tent will be at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue NW & 13 1/2 St NW on the Freedom Plaza side.
According to the festival website, they had about 140,000 people last year. We really don’t know what to expect from this big event, but we’re excited about being a part of the festival!! We’re always appreciative of people who enjoy the Japanese culture, food, and gift items.
We cannot bring everything from our website as the space is very limited, but we’ll do our best and bring as many as we can. Items we’ll be showing include bento (of course…), tea sets, soap, sushi sets, artwork, home decors, bags & purses, stationery, and many more gift items. Some of our new items will be available only at the festival, so make sure to come early and grab them if you see anything you like! Everything is first come first serve!! Also, even though there are some ATM machines somewhere, don’t forget to bring some cash! You know when so many people are around, it takes much longer to do a simple task…. The event will go on rain or shine, but let’s hope that it will be a nice day!
See you guys soon!!

Our love affair with Shinzi Katoh started a couple of years ago when we first discovered the wonderful Japanese “zakka” paradise. “Zakka” means household items in Japan and there are many Japanese houseware designers. Among the designers, I’d say that Shinzi Katoh is one of the top and a well respected designer. Shinzi Katoh has produced so many fun and unique products over the years and loyal fans around the world are eager to collect his newest additions.
We have been adding his collection a little by little, and now we have enough items to make a special category just for Shinzi Katoh goods!
Shinzi Katoh bento boxes are our staple and many of our customers enjoy these cute lunch boxes.
We also have his stationery, including pens, pencils and decorative tapes.
Our newest additions are his canvas bags and Tea for Two. The canvas bags are very durable, functional with many pockets, and have colorful designs. We have 4 designs now.
Tea for Two is very adorable too! You don’t see this kind of tea set often. It has a pot on the top and two cups on the bottom. One tea cup holds 200ml and the tea pot holds 400ml, so it’s not that big. It’s so cute and unique that you can use it as home decor in the kitchen area! It comes with an adorable gift box, so it will make a great gift too!
Are you curious of what else we have? Check out our Shinzi Katoh collection!
