Craft shopping in Tokyo- paper crafts and wool in Japan 

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes those papers are incredibly tempting! It's hard not to want them all!

I’d love to go to Norway too!

Glad you enjoyed it! I think the only thing that stops me really filling my trolley is the knowledge that I can come back again, and the knowledge that I have to cart everything home on the train, then walk one km home!!

I’ll go and look for it for you!

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it Cher! I'm heading out today to hopefully video some more fun Japanese craft.

I'm trying to make the most of it here. I try to buy locally in Australia too, but since my local store shut down, I've been doing more online shopping too.

It was a really fun day, and after so much time alone here, having a camera made me feel like I was shopping with friends. Crazy, probably, but true.

It was a great place to live. I’m back in Australia now, and I miss it!

Hi Aileen! Thank you so much. I have to be so careful not to fall in love with all the things! The drumming is my favourite part too. For some reason the drums always make me teary.

Thank you so much Ngaire. The drums are my favourite too! They make me teary, I love them so much!

Glad you enjoyed it! I love seeing life in other countries, so I was hoping people would find it interesting, and that it wasn't just me!

Glad you enjoyed it! The drums are my favourite part of the performances. I find it hard to tear the camera away from them to show the dancers!

Thank you so much Tiffany. The first video was so well received that we're off today to see if we can get some footage for another!

Hello Julie! I'm so glad you've had the chance to come to Japan. It's such a wonderful place. I love the stationary shops too, and have to really watch myself that I don't buy more than I should!

Hello my lovely friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Life is the same, yet completely different here, but I'm loving it.

The stores here are amazing! You have to keep your self control intact to not fill your home with all the things!

Thank you so much Amy. I'm so glad you've had the opportunity to come to Japan. I love this country so much. I feel so at home here.

Thanks Daria. I've finished them now, and they're really great for summer!

Hi Mary. You'll definitely be able to visit those stores from Kamakura! What a great place to live! The streets of Kamakura are so narrow! I remember having to fold the car side mirrors in to pass another car in one street. I'll have to check out the handmade paper shop

Thanks so much. I love life in Japan. I'm studying Japanese and really enjoying the challenge of living life in a second language, even though it's exhausting sometimes!

Hi Valree. We're probably returning at the end of the year, although we may be back and forth for a while as my husband finishes up work here. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I learned a lot making it. I usually I have to speed my videos up when cardmaking, but I moved the camera way too fast, and had to slow all the footage down so you wouldn't get motion sick!

You have amazing attention to detail! Well spotted on the Kangaroo!

I'm not surprised. Itoya is fabulous!

Hi Traci. Thanks for your kindness. I wonder if you went to a shop called Tomato for your fabric. It's really big here, with a lot of stores spread around Nippori. I hope you can adventure again soon!

Hi Leanne. Yes, I've seen some individual pencils in Australia too. I wish it was more the norm there like it is here. I'm so glad you enjoyed a little peek into the stores here.

My closest Officeworks (Midland WA) has expanded and now has a huge art supply, especially brushes. I still like to support Jackson’s too though. If we don’t use the small stores we will lose them, hence Spotlight.

Wonderful! I’m headed back to Japan tomorrow too! I’ve been in Australia for a few months! The cherry blossoms are just perfect at the moment. Friends have been sending me pictures. Have fun with the craft supplies!

Yes! It's a really great place to live.

Hi. No, they don’t. They are just art supplies. But if you’re in. Shinjuku, where Sekaido is, you can go to Okadaya, and they have wool. Don’t be alarmed that when you enter the shop it looks like it’s all makeup. Just keep going up to the 5th floor, and to the back half and h there’s lots of wool there. Another place for wool is the the chain store Yuzawaya. They have less fancy wool, but more reasonably priced. There are lots of these google for one that’s close to where you are staying. Good luck! Hope this helps
