2k540
The other day, I went to the place which had been on my mind. That is '2k540 Aki-Oka Artisan'. It's a sort of shopping mall of craftsmen, includings small galleries, studios, cafes, shops and so on. It's located underneath the elevated railway tracks in Okachi-machi between Ueno and Akihabara, Tokyo. If you are a craft lover, or want to get Japanese high quality products, I am sure you will not to be disappointed.
I popped in one of the shops, Kiriyatanaka, which deals in merchandise of Paulownia wood products, mainly funitures. Ah, I wanted to get their cutting board...
