Welcome to Autumn

Around September 22nd to the 24th, the length of the day and night are exactly the same.
Following this Equinox, the lingering summer heat will gradually start to wane as winter draws nearer.

We have changed our showroom coordination since Autumn has finally come to Tokyo.
This time’s theme is ‘Welcome to Autumn’


We arranged the table coordination to imagine enjoying the food of Autumn.


We coordinated with chic and undertoned colors.




We also have various other items on display.

The white leather couch.


The Dresser and Chest.


The kitchen Board.

The Glass table Dining set.


The counter stools are on sale at 60% off from retail price.
The retail price 52,920 yen → 21,168  yen per chair



It is lovely to be out in this weather.
Please come to our showroom if you are nearby.

Sri Lanka Festival at Yoyogi Park

I went to the Sri Lanka Festival at Yoyogi park last week.


When I arrived at around 10:00 in the morning, it was already crowded and there was an appetizing aroma filling the air.
There were lots of booths like the Sri Lanka travel agency and black tea, but what I was really looking for was Sri Lankan food.


Sri Lanka is close to India so their food is mainly Curry but they also have BBQ Chicken and some Sri Lankan soul food.




At the special stage, they were teaching how to pour tea and showing Sri Lankan Terpsichorean art.
On another note,  there is a good story about the Ambassador of Sri Lanka.
After the March earthquake and tsunami, some Embassies closed and evacuated their Diplomats to Kansai. However,  the Sri Lankan Ambassador arrived in Tokyo as scheduled at the end of March to take up his post. He told the Sri Lankan people living in Japan to stay and help the Japanese people.
The Ambassador went to Fukushima in April and served curry to victims of the disaster.
It was highly unusual for an Ambassador to go to the affected area.
He said that Japan is a true friend that helped us when the Sumatra earthquake hit Sri Lanka.
I sincerely appreciate all the help from the Countries around the world.

Bonsai & Plant Fair

The lingering summer heat finally begins to wane a little as the end of summer approaches.
The weather gradually becomes cooler, giving people a sense of the upcoming autumn.

Last weekend, I was working in the Azabu Juban area and there was a ‘Bonsai & Plant Fair’.
They were displaying and selling the Bonsai from Kawaguchi – Angyo, which is an area with a long history of producing Bonsai and flowers.



There were lots of people, locals as well as people from overseas.

Bonsai sounds like a hobby for the elderly, but nowadays lots of young Japanese and foreigners are interested .
There were lots of various sized and types of Bonsai with explanations in Japanese and English.





Having a plant in your room has some healing effect.
It might be fun to have a Bonsai in your room instead of having regular house
plants.

Showroom Coordination for Summer

We would like to introduce our latest showroom coordination.

At May’s, one of our coordinators decides on a new theme for our showroom every 2 months.
We missed showing you our new theme which we changed last month.

August’s theme was ‘Seaside House’.
We have imagined a second house by the sea.



Apart from this layout, there are also other items on display in our showroom.



This month we set up a study room based in white color.







The next showroom change will be in October.
Please come to check our showroom if you are nearby.
