Calling all Japanophiles!
We've created a selection of products created by Japan-based makers to please any Japan lover. Art, stationery, fabric items, jewellery, garden supplies and even a craft pattern are all included in this handy guide.


1. ART BY ERICA WARD ILLUSTRATION

A fantasy of Tokyo blooms out of the branches of a sakura bonsai in this ink and watercolor illustration replication A4 art print by Erica Ward.
The familiarity of Tokyo Tower, Shibuya, Shinjuku, will stir feelings in anyone who has spent time in Tokyo, and a closer look may reveal lesser known scenes as well, including the prominently placed Kiyosubashi bridge, a favorite of the artist herself. Printed in Kyoto on Vent Nouveau 195kg paper. 135kg A2 poster also available.

Rainbow Fuji-san is the perfect addition to a child's room, living room, office, or any room where you want to be transported to the calming views of Fuji-san.

Created using a technique called quilling, made from artist grade paper that is cut into long, thin strips, that are then twirled, twisted, and molded into shapes to create a beautiful work of art. Rainbow Fuji-san comes ready to hang on your wall or stand on your shelf in a shadow box frame and is protected from dirt and dust by a piece of plexiglass. You can also customize your very own Fuji-san by choosing the colors you love best.
