MAKING IT PERSONAL

We've been known to spend literally days dithering over which gifts to spend home to our more discerning family members(the dullard uncle gets socks every time, natch). But even the pickiest ralative should be won over by the wares at Yuzya, an online shop that specializes in traditional Japanese handicrafts including ceramics, furoshiki and chopsticks. The clincher is that these can be personalised: how about a lacquer soup bowl with your mother's name on it, or a wind chime with a personal message for your girlfriend?  If you want to take it further, Yuzya also offers original items crafted according to the customer's own design.

The Iphone application of a wind bell, Furin.

Did you know there is an iphone application which you can listen to the wind bell sounds??
The sound was recorded with the bell of Nosaku, the YUZYA's favorite brass wind bell manufacture's.

New Item! Kimono Watch Series. . .

Experience the beauty and soul of Japan through watches made using such materials as rich mineral pigments ground from crystal and other minerals used in traditional Nihonga painting, or the deep luster and beauty of natural lacquer that has been appreciated and valued in Japan since the Jomon period (c.8000 to c.300 BC).

Respecting the integrity of traditional techniques, using cow skin glue as an adhesive and apply several layers of washi handmade Japanese paper to the watch faces and then apply several coats of natural lacquer. After this the lacquered surface is highly polished and finished using decorative maki-e techniques.

The effect is completed with straps that elegantly combine natural plant dyes and braiding in the highest quality silk. The straps can easily be replaced so you can enjoy a variation in styles according to the season or the circumstances.

The Wind Chime in the hot humid summer. . .

A sound of the wind chime cools down hot humid summer of Japan.

Again, special thanks to David and Karen!!
You guys are the best.
