@@tokyotique yea we loved the market and spent hours and too much money. yea it didnt pour but it drizzled constantly enough for me to be walking around in wet jeans :P we almost missed it as our GPS took us literally to the other side of the building (25m) and all the local shops had no idea of any markets lol

Did u try to bargain or negotiate or is it frown upon in Japan?
@tokyotique8 күн бұрын
Depends on what the item is priced at and how many pieces you’re buying. If the price is already low they may say no. Also if it’s towards closing time you’re more likely to be successful. They often knock off a bit from the total for me when I haven’t even asked for a discount😊

The word “Kokeshi” literally means “child erase”. During times of famine in the north of Honshu new born and very young children were sacrificed because there just wasn’t enough food to feed them. The Kokeshi were carved and kept as more of a memorial to the deceased / erased child, and not used as “dolls”.

Thank you for watching and for subscribing😊Haggling at flea markets is quite normal here if you're picking up a few pieces from one stall. Some places are receptive, some not if the prices are already low. I don't tend to haggle myself, but often get a discount without even asking for one when it's almost closing time!🎶

I lived in Tokyo 4 years (1979 to 1984) and went to "temple markets" every Sunday and to salvation army sales on Saturday mornings. Sometimes I got to the flea market in Kyoto. There were no thrift stores then and no big flea markets that I knew about. There were a lot of small second-hand stores though. I still have most of the things I collected then.
@tokyotique18 күн бұрын
@@user-os2zy2dp6j How wonderful! A far more interesting period of time as an expat to live in Japan for sure. My father (who is British) and I were talking about this just the other day as he moved here in the late 1960s. The second hand stores in the 80s would have been very small "mom & pops" shops. Which, to be honest, is still mainly the case now. Not many large thrift store chains, unless for clothing, high-end brand fashion items, books and white goods/tech. I can imagine you found some incredible treasures in the early 80s! So happy to hear you still have those items😍

Thank you so much for this very informative video. 🙇🏻♀ I only new Ukiyo-e . I really love Japanese aesthetics, arts, crafts, etc and all types of japanese woodblock prints look amazing to me. I really enjoyed the washi and postcards store, especially the postcards which had the washi paper collaged and then printed, so pretty. 💓In love with the old book and magazines shop, being a librarian I can't help it🤩 I adored the postcards you showed and the one you bought look so harmonious and fascinating. I have a collection of postcards but I haven't any japanese ones unfortunately. I am so grateful for finding your video. Arigato gozaimashita👏🤗🥰
