Isetatsu Tenugui

Isetatsu is a shop from Edo era, there’s so many beautiful wood-printing papers, chiyogami, paper toys, and Japanese pattern goods.

I love their cute Omocha-e (Ukiyoe for kids in Edo era) series, especially cats ones.
All of the cats are working and dancing on Tenugui!

Cha Yu heart shaped craft tea

I got a beautiful Chinese craft tea from Cha Yu.

Drop a heart shaped jasmin green tea in the pot, then tea leaf slowly open and pop up a red flower with white butterfly.
It is like a dreamy show and fragrance of the tea is spread over the room.
