A folk craft store located a one minute walk from Wakamatsu-kawada Station on the Toei Oedo subway line. The store's sale's floors are located on floors B1 through 4. Here you'll find shelves packed with traditional folk crafts made in areas around the country, and visitors will find themselves enwrapped in a sense of nostalgia for Japan's past. The store's countless selection of choice Japanese folk crafts includes traditional toys; papier mache figures; pottery; glassware; indigo dyed cloth; and stationary, envelopes for special occasions, and other Japanese washi paper products. All of the store's goods carry that special warmth only handmade items have and remain uninfluenced by recent trends in this or that folk craft, making searching for your favorites part of the fun of coming here.
