Just got back from a buying trip to Oaxaca, Mexico - home of Alebrijes, also known as Oaxacan Wood Carvings. Brought back a few amazing pieces with me and have lots more being shipped and custom made for us by the artists. Some are on the site now, more coming late next week, even more the following week. Beginning in June and running through the summer, shipments from the individual artists will begin arriving. Be sure to bookmark and check back often if you are a fan.
Our carvings have been hard at work for the last few months making ojime beads for us. The first half of our order has been received and added to our site. We have over 300 designs in stock with more on the way. Shop early for the best selection.
Just returned from New Mexico with over 100 Zuni and Navajo Fetish Carvings. It was a great trip, and I was able to buy some excellent pieces from the artists.
We just added our latest shipment of Tagua Nut Netsuke to our website. Selections include several Rabbits (for the Year of the Rabbit), Some great dragons, and Hotei and Buddha.
We just added our latest shipment of Gemstone Beads to our website. Yes, we now offer beads for making jewelry. After years of selling Ojime and Netsuke to jewelry makers, we decided to contact our suppliers and begin offering stone beads at discounted prices.
Our new line of Sushi Sets, Sake Sets, and Teasets have just been added to our site. We are excited about this year's new designs and hope you are too.
