奥の間 · The Vault

A second room, behind the gallery.

Nothing in it is listed anywhere. The door opens with a code we make by hand, for one person at a time.

Behind the door

First sight
New finds go up here before they are listed anywhere else. Some are never listed at all.
Held for you
Say the word and a piece is set aside for you while the payment details are with you.
A line to Fukuoka
What you write goes straight to the bench in Fukuoka, not to a help desk. Most messages are answered the same day, Japan time.
A name that grows
The house has six names for its guests, and something we send goes with each one.

Old Japanese shops had words for the people who kept coming back. We kept six. They are earned slowly, one piece after another.

初客

First guestShokyaku

The first visit. The room is open to you.

Waiting at this name

Something made to be kept, on paper made for keeping.

Codes are made by hand, one person at a time. Tell us a little about what you collect. We read every request ourselves and write back from Fukuoka.

Already hold a code?
