Tortoise

Tortoise is a Japanese dry goods store featuring everything from cooking utensils to bonsai shears.  Don’t forget the store behind the store - you will find unique Japanese decorative ceramics, unusual jewelry and textiles.

Chariots on Fire

Chariots on Fire is part gallery, part gift store. They are best known for finding unique artists such as Matoko Kagoshima. His playful ceramics have gained a cult-like status amongst so many of our friends. No wonder why Matoko’s works are so limited.
