Lovely small store, great for gifts. You’ll find a collection of stationery, pottery, incense, fabrics, high-end chopsticks, wind chimes, and decorations. Did I say gift ideas?

Things Japanese carries assortment of authentic Japanese products. So much fun to browse around and everything here is just so delicate. Love the tablewares and they even have tea sets for the tea ceremony. Friendly shop owner also gave me good tip that if I forgot getting any gifts or souvenirs after my trip to Japan, I can always come by and pick up some. Good idea especially I love travelling light! I doubt my friends would have notice the different :) as Things Japanese has their goods shipped from Japan anyway!

I was early for a dinner in the ‘hood, so stopped by this little shop on Harbord. This is a great place for little Japanese trinkets, kitchenware, and textiles. They have a nice selection of both traditional and more modern Japanese things — tea sets, chopsticks, stationary, kimonos, woodblock prints, staple-less staplers… Prices are not cheap, but the stuff is beautiful, authentic and shipped from Japan. A great place to hunt for gifts this time of year, and they have slightly extended hours for the holidays(until 7pm on weeknights).
