"The first time I stopped in this shop in Portland on vacation, I was blown away by the care & attention to detail in their clothing pieces. After 8 months of consistent wear, my husbands shirt still looked fantastic. I ordered several more pieces from the company online. Evidently, a couple of their items were sold out or had an issue with the listing, and I was unreachable. I received a prompt refund and a nicely handwritten note in the box detailing the issues with my order and a formal apology. This company’s customer service is incredible, and I’m a very happy customer."

"I like this store! They've curated items from Japan just like a museum would curate things, but they're not just for display, although their displays in store are still pretty cool! But these include clothing items, daily necessities, teaware, and so much more! Plus, the way everything is laid out in store is really fun to walk around! Honestly, I came pretty close to buying something, but the thing preventing me was the lack of space in my backpack. Definitely a place to hit up! My words don't do this place justice!"

"This is a jewel of a store in Portland. There was so much to look at, fall in love with and regret having packed such a small suit case because from clothing, cups, textiles and other assorted odds and ends there so much I wanted. It’s a rare thing that I sign up for mailing lists to my actual email and not my “junk mail” email and this store is one of them. The clothing is very expensive but appears to be being made in house and one of a kind so depending on the piece totally worth it."

"This is one of my new favorite retail stores anywhere. It’s so good if you’re into Japanese culture, vintage clothing and old fashioned craftsmanship. The jeans are in the $200 range, vintage jackets are often $400 and up. So not cheap. But the quality is incredible. The designs are unusual. And there are artisans in the store repairing and working on clothes while you shop. It feels like the best old school atelier has met 2023’s scene. I hope they open a location in Los Angeles someday!!"

"This place is amazing. Expertly curated and thoughtfully laid out store with everything from pottery, incense, jewelry, books, home decor and of course, the one of a kind clothing with repro denim and souvenir jackets. A must visit whether you live in Portland or are just visiting."
