Description

This collection comes from my trip to Japan in 2000. In a small village at the foot of Mount Fuji, an elderly couple opened an antique shop at home. My rental car tire accidentally broke in that village, and I was wandering around the village looking for help, and that's when I discovered this antique shop hidden in a folk house. The boss and his wife are about 70-80 years old. They were having lunch on the tatami. When the boss knew about me, he invited me to drink tea together and helped me contact a car repair shop in the village. Later, I bought some things, including this rosary, not because of the help of the antique store owner, but because the antique store has many really beautiful antiques, and they are worth collecting. It's one of the most tasteful antique stores I've ever seen.
