It was a treat to experience this amazing shop. I had the shop on my must visit shops in Seattle and was impressed with the friendly service, variety of artistic and home good items, and physical charm and energy of the shop. If you are looking for a shop that has a taste of Asia in Seattle with helpful and friendly people this is an excellent place to visit and shop!

Very cool shop with interesting items like funky shaped dishes and bamboo lamps, cute stuff like finger puppet books and handmade night lights, and art supplies. There’s a lot of cool things to look at, albeit a lot of them have high prices 😅 Highly recommend this store if you are looking to get a unique gift and don’t mind paying a bit for uniqueness and high quality. I realllly wanted to get the night light, they are sooooo LIT haha, pun intended. If you keep browsing though, there’s some items that are more affordable like the $6 card with a giant bingsoo and dog, soap bars with good scent, and a really cute collection of children’s books with finger puppets that’s actually only $7 per book. I recommend the finger puppet book if you have young kids or looking to get gifts for them.

which translates from Japanese as "artist's workspace," is an artisan gallery featuring Japanese and Northwest fine crafts. KOBO Many Japanese crafts have a long history, and many of them make you feel emotional and artistic. Akabeko was famous even in my hometown It is a shop that brings back nostalgic memories and the joy of experiencing craft culture in America. Oh. . . Akabeko was here!

This shop is truly one of Seattle’s hidden gems! It offers a wonderful selection of rare Japanese products, mostly focused on art and home décor. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the shopping experience even better. I stopped by to find a lacquer jewelry box for my fiancée’s birthday and ended up picking out a beautiful card as well. I’ll definitely be coming back! Just a heads-up — you may need to pay for parking.
