Last year I was attending a Rooster Fair in Tokyo and on the way, at the platform I met the wife of a diplomat, she shared with me the feelings about Japanese culture and her experience enjoying Ikebana, the only thing she was concerned about is that she couldn’t find traditional bamboo vase, she was looking for it at the… flower shops, souvenirs stores, with no luck .
And Later on I confirmed that this lady was saying the truth, I couldn’t find any nice bamboo vase in any shop in Tokyo.
Then just by coincidence one of my friends introduced to me Shiro-san who is the owner of MA by So Shi Te shop and I visited his shop, and the first thing I looked at was beautiful bamboo vase !
Shiro-san shop is zen like, it has very pleasant earthy relaxing tones, and you can find there one of kind of unique products from different parts of Japan like pottery, gold leaf, vases, statues, traditional jewelry, and more.
I wish you will have a chance to enjoy the peaceful ambiance of MA by So Shi Te in Aoyama !
