Japanistic/Blog

Have I mentioned that we are planning our trip to Japan? Okay, I know–only a few million times. One of the places we are determined to go is Kyoto, and I love the idea of visiting some of the beautiful crafting shops featured on the Postcards from Kyoto series on Just Hungry.

Detailed, but not boring, the reviews of these stores and their sewing supplies make me geek out on craft–for a change. Who knew about the meticulously made sewing needles from the 350-year-old company Misuyabari?

How about the gorgeous sewing boxes from Hakotou Sho-ten?

Need the details on where and when? Just Hungry has them all, as well as other entries in the Postcards From Kyoto series. It’s like she’s writing a travel guide just for me!
