Tamura Folk Crafts, Antiques & Paper Mounting

This store was founded by the current owner's ancestor in 1954 as shop that dealt in chests of drawers and paper mounting for scrolls or sliding doors. Now the shop handles folk craft toys and antiques in addition to paper mounting. A big traditional top waves on the noren above their door. Behind the noren, you can find rows of beautiful antiques from all over Japan. All the antiques are personally selected by the storekeeper, and include a wide variety of antique swords, halberds, radios and clocks.
