This summer, we’re bringing back our Shop Japan series to introduce unique Japanese products for those who want to continue supporting Japanese businesses, are looking for an extra special gift or simply are in the mood for shopping. We’re kicking off this comeback with home decor items to spruce up your Tokyo apartment or home if you’re still riding the redecoration wave.

No matter where you stand, we might just have found your next favorite home decor piece.
