Amazing pottery, of many different styles. A consignment store of MANY local artists. Mostly pottery pieces, but WOW. Amazing skill, at a variety of styles and types of pottery. The craqueleur on the pieces is outstanding! Perfect glazing, pretty, delicate and amazingly thin pieces, to large and bold. We ended up buying 7 individual pieces, there were some sets. They were able to ship the more expensive pieces back to the USA for us for a reasonable price. A very good experience. Language barrier was negligible with Google translate. Well done!

Nestled in the heart of Nara's historic district, Naramachi Nigiwai-no-le is a charming old house that offers a delightful glimpse into the traditional lifestyle of Japan's past. During my recent visit to Nara, I stumbled upon this hidden gem and was captivated by its nostalgic charisma.
