ASK THE EXPERTS 

WHAT ARE KOKESHI?

Japanese wooden dolls that originated in the early 1800s in Japan’s Tohoku region. Woodworkers in hot spring towns crafted these dolls from wood scraps as children’s toys, embedding historical elements for parents to pass on. Initially simple, the dolls evolved to feature colorful kimonos and painted facial expressions, with bodies adorned in floral and ring designs, typically in red, black, and other colors, and coated with wax. 

Explore several cabinets filled with traditional Japanese folk crafts, porcelain hand-painted figures, whimsical character carvings, and extraordinary dolls awaiting new homes.

Technology has come a long way, from boom boxes & typewriters to stenograph machines & now iPhones—who knew our gadgets would go from groovy to clicky to shorthand to swipey!

Explore amazing stationery and executive office supplies imported from Japan, featuring cards, letter sets, pencil cases, boxes, notepads, binders, and a plethora of home office finds.

 THE USEFUL: The garage offers practical treasures where every item serves a purpose and is filled with storage cabinets, carts, boxes, and bins stocked with cleaning and home care supplies. Don’t miss several appliances, including a Whirlpool freezer refrigerator in stainless steel. Browse through an assortment of books covering art, travel, cooking, crafting, and Japanese culture, along with vintage records and cameras, including a Canon FT QL 35mm.
