Centered around original products made by the professional crafting group waji, the store also offers a selection of items sourced from overseas.
The name, waji exhibit store, reflects the idea of wanting customers to enjoy and pick up a variety of carefully selected products as if they were at an exhibition without any specific genre. The inside of the store is beautifully adorned with antique furniture, filling the air with a subtle leather fragrance. Items from multiple brands are thoughtfully arranged throughout the space.

Kunisawa
The Kunisawa brand offers a range of stationery, and I was particularly captivated by their notebooks featuring Ukiyo-e illustrations.
Modern art paintings grace the walls, creating an atmosphere that feels much like an art gallery, blending sophistication with creativity.
Original waji products made with Japanese cowhide and genuine glasses that are crafted in Tokyo’s downtown area.
The design of this Glart brand wallet is a testament to ingenuity, seamlessly blending glass accents with high-quality leather. It is available in a wide range of colors.
By learning about the roots of each product in the store, customers develop an attachment to them, making them want to give these items to loved ones or keep them as their own special treasures.
By conversing with Mr. Sakamaki, you can learn the stories behind each product, which enhances their appeal even more. Heartwarming anecdotes and creation secrets add further value to the items.
The Kiyosumi neighborhood is famous for its art galleries and workshops, and this shop beautifully captures that artistic essence. The interior has a gallery-like atmosphere, making it a must-visit whether you’re looking for an original souvenir or just exploring a unique destination.
