expo

expo is a shop cum gallery that offers modern Japanese curiosities. While there are a few traditional products on sale, such as divine tatami flip-flops with velvet strips, most of the space is taken up with cuddly akira-like knitted dollies whose names are scrawled on the walls in pencil alongside little flurries of verse in German and English. Owner Mana Furuyama also imports a wide range of impeccable writing instruments in amazing colours, stationary and postcards with yet more strange little creatures by Japanese artist Yoko Yamamoto.
