Fading Memories of Kanazawa
Wednesday, 8 July 2009
I had more photos from Kanazawa in the roll of film I just had developed so here they are.The bottom four photos are taken at a lovely little shop/cafe called Collabon which is run by two local artists. There are some shops like it in Kanazawa but this one had the most welcome atmosphere of all. I had a cute company too ;)
I can't stop thinking about the wooden tray in the last photo which was seen at another shop in Kanazawa. I will try if I can get it somehow.
I bought 2 types of really cute japanese vintage papers at this shop. I thought they are made locally, but were actually from Yonagado å¤œé•·å ‚ from Osaka. Their beautiful papers are also sold at keibunsha.

ReplyDeletehello melindatrees,
ReplyDeleteNo this shop is not in the street near the museum I mentioned before. It's near the Omicho Food Market in the center of Kanazawa city. I don't know if you read Japanese but here is the link to google map: http://maps.google.co.jp/maps/ms?hl=ja&gl=jp&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=113359784460254977351.000449f9afd14f6cac64c&ll=36.573406,136.655459&spn=0,0&source=embed
