Pictures on it were drawn carefully by hand ! This clothing was made by the craftsman in Kyoto. Um… cool!
What is the reason why this t-shirt is pretty cool? I think that the reasons are because the craftsman’s technique is amazing and because my name kanji symbol is cool both.

Akiba Mart Is Open Today!

Akiba Mart project started at the end of February, and for approximately 3 month since then, Akiba Mart had started its service!

To deliver cool and fancy products from Japan to our customers, we had worked very hard. We were not a specialist for online stores and online marketing, however our passion made things going forward. We know that there are a lot of things to learn from our customers, we are always welcome for your comments and requests.

Our main products now are tasty Japanese tea and beautiful shadow boxes, but we are planning to expand it more. What product? No, no that’s secret for now

I would like to thank my friend Susumu for running this project with me, Kazuki for nice and cute illustrations in How To Prepare Sencha and How To Prepare Matcha pages. Also many thanks to everybody who gave us advice. We could not realize Akiba Mart without all of you. Thanks again!

Cool Samurai Helmet

Now, Naoe Kanetsugu who was a Japanese samurai has grown in popularity in Japan. Because this year’s hero of the historical drama which every year NHK(Japanese state channel) broadcasts for a year, is Naoe Kanetsugu.
Despite Naoe Kanetsugu was a just warrior serving Uesugi Kenshin and Uesugi Kagekatsu, he is so popular that his drama was made. It’s true that he was so faithful samurai warrior Japanese likes and there are some interesting anecdotes about him.But,what makes him so popular?
I think one of the best reasons is that his samurai helmet is pretty gorgeous.
Watch this!

Tea Incense Burner (Cha Kouro)

Have you heard of an item called Tea Incense Burner (Cha Kouro)?

Yesterday, I went to Odaiba. Odaiba is located in bay area of Tokyo, which is famous for dating spot. Ah, don’t ask whether I went there for dating. Odaiba is also a good place for shopping where there are many shops and good to find out cool stuffs.

In one of the shop in Odaiba, I found a good tea incense burner (in Japanese it is called “Cha Kouro”). I knew that there is such thing, but I’ve never tried it. So I purchased one for my home to have a try. Burner is very simple, it has a little tray to put the tea on and a little space underneath the tray to put a candle. The way it works is same as aroma oil burner, but the tray is little more larger and shallow.
