About the shop

A shop in an old rice storehouse, one street back from the riverside of the Bikan Historical Quarter. The ground floor holds tableware by a dozen or so makers from Okayama and Kurashiki. The shelves are kept low so you can pick up rice bowls and teacups and choose them in your hands. Upstairs are vintage pieces the owner has taken in when nearby storehouses and homes were cleared out: lamps, wooden boxes and glassware, washed, mended and set out. If a piece catches your eye, we can hold it for you until the day you visit.

What you can do here

  • Choose a maker's rice bowl with it in your hands
  • Hunt for old lamps and wooden boxes
  • Have a piece you like held until the day you visit
  • Have gifts wrapped and shipped

From the owner

Please pick up each piece and feel its weight before you choose. With vintage pieces, I'll also tell you, as far as I know, how their previous owners used them.
Namba, the owner

Why this place supports social causes

When old houses and storehouses in Kurashiki are cleared out, things that could still be used sometimes get thrown away too. People let me know, and I take them in, wash and mend them, and put them out in the shop. Alongside the makers' tableware, I want to keep things in the town that will be used for a long time.

From the place

Because our work is handing on things that would have been thrown away, and tableware by the town's makers, to the people who will use them next.
Opens its space to the communityWe take in things that come out of clear-outs at nearby homes and storehouses, mend them and pass them on to their next users.

What the shop cares about

  • Shelves where you can pick things up

    Our shelves are at waist height, with each piece set out so you can pick it up.

  • Vintage pieces are mended first

    We make sure lamps light up, and note any repairs on the tag before putting them out.

  • Tableware by Okayama makers

    Almost all the makers whose work we stock have kilns within an hour's drive.
