This is litterally my DREAM fixer upper🥺, I love the original kitchen cubbords and counters so much.

[@typerightseesight]

for an authentic japanese house full of junk the musics quite hey mambo italiano lol but werd. lol

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Save that old green TV for Chris's Studio retro tech display !!!

[@anthonynelson6671]

Wasn't this the house with all the free alcohol in the "kitchen-floor-cubby"? Idk what to call those things as I'm an USAian and we really do not have a word for those unique, handy storage places as they aren't a "thing" in this country.

[@Advexen]

Should give that old newspaper to Aki or Chris for their retro rooms.

[@CGiles]

idk why this video made me emotional. this was someone's life. to see what they collected and what they thought were treasures. I'm glad you went through it and ended up keeping a lot, so it didn't just end up in the garbage.

[@Patronulum]

I feel exactly the same. Although we don't know the story behind the previous owners or why the house went up for sale, I wouldn't have been able to go through someone's old house with that kind of enthusiasm. I wonder why they left these things. Was it really garbage? Especially seeing things unused that has been kept for a long time really breaks my heart.

[@azahel542]

Same! I kept thinking, what kind of person lived here, what kind of life did they have, what is the story behind each of these items? It's a strange feeling.

[@helenlecornu1651]

Seeing the eye glasses left behind was what made me shed tears - maybe they were elderly who could no longer stay in their home - it looks like a lot of stuff somebody cherished dearly.

[@CGiles]

@@helenlecornu1651 seeing the little Earthquake/Disaster Kit got me. I'm glad it wasn't used, but I can imagine them going out and buying that canned bread, putting it in the basket in preparation, because they were planning on staying at that place for a long time. it was their home.

[@CGiles]

@@Patronulum yes and I wouldn't been so keen to see if there's money in everything. but I don't hold it against them. maybe they just didn't think about it in the moment. but I hope in hindsight, they're like "I'm grateful to the previous owner" for the house, for the items, where ever the previous owner might be.

[@melissawaite6018]

I love how Sharla was like, “money!” and Ushka was like, “dead body!”. Lmao! And on top of that they like stationery. Love them!

[@aude94]

For the stamp I found some info it's part of a few series of two stamps by the poet Basho Matsuo. Issued on: 1987-02-26. This serie was featuring Waterfall (Kegon Falls) and Haiku ("Sunlight", Toshu Shrine) (if you search" "Sunlight", Toshu Shrine stamp" it's the one they have).

[@bakaichigo]

Yeah those "Fancy Rabbit" painted plates and stuff could be worth A LOT of money depending... Looks like they were well cared for, so could be collectors items. My family have found lots of those sorts of dishes in our thrift stores and about half turn out to be actually quite valuable. In Japan, that may be even more likely - just make sure you check markets OUTSIDE of Japan, as sometimes these things are more common in Japan (as people take such good care there).

[@applesandoranges9916]

got curious and googled it to find them being resold for ¥400😂 the miso soup bowls seem nice but not special either, I agree both are great condition tho

[@winslow8779]

Loved Sharla's "hang on" as she dipped into the recesses of her brain to find the word "cooler," love multilingualness

[@sharlainjapan]

Haha took a minute but I found it😂😅

[@winslow8779]

@@sharlainjapan haha, it was actually impressive!

[@kaliland9296]

That saw you found is called a "Japansäge" or Japan saw in German. It's actually a really popular tool to use not only in the garden but also for building things! What a great find!

[@Terahnee]

There are collectors who would love that. It looks like besides some rust it's in pretty good shape.

[@patriciacox8635]

Keep the saw-collectable and works really well. Can use it to repair the missing wood pieces on the broken screen. Have one from 1963 when we lived in Japan.

[@thecollector5243]

My friend is a carpenter and says that double edged pull saw is called Ryoba or 両刃. It's one of the most widely used traditional Japanese carpentry tools.

[@dontcomeinbutcomein]

Have we ever been formally introduced to Ushka, how long she's lived in Japan, her background, etc? Maybe I'm not caught up on the Sharla lore...

[@sharlainjapan]

We met 4 years ago during vlogmas! If you go back and watch that episode it’ll prob make a lot more sense haha

[@NinaNikkoLinna]

Yes, I also want to know Ushka's story , if she's comfortable sharing it

[@schnuds]

yes she was, forgot which video tho

[@gailalbers1430]

could you link the video. please .❤

[@pavlos8844]

She seems very energetic and with a very positive attitude

[@popculturevegan]

It's especially fun because we got to experience it without having to touch anything.

[@marhara1]

Everybody says they love Ushka. I always thought it must have been great to have a friend like her! She is so positive and kind! She deserves to see our comments! ;)

[@sharlainjapan]

She’s the best!!!!

[@gracefulsnake6399]

I'm so thankful Sharla is still creating. Super excited to see this houses journey! I was reading some of the comments and it really shook me how long Sharla has been on KZbin! I've been watching her since I was 14 and now I'm 23! So grateful to be able to grow with her through the different phases of our lives. Thanks for sharing your life with us, Sharla!

[@AcutelyAmber]

I really hope you keep the pictures and find a place for them in the house once it's renovated! They look like they were packaged away with such love and care ❤

“What would you use that for? Cutting away at plants?” “Or people.” And that’s why Ushka is my favorite of Sharla’s friends.

[@nickthomas181]

[@carrot1977]

That was a cane knife, or cane machete, I think, not entirely sure. Never seen a serrated one like that

[@MrHippo00100]

@@carrot1977 it was a Japanese pull saw, it's for cutting wood, like for woodworking, not for like cutting trees and what not outside

[@kevsonkeyboard]

The history nerd in me perked up with the newspaper at 14:35. I recognize the two figures shaking hands as Jimmy Carter (US, Left) and Leonid Brezhnev (USSR, Right). June 18th, 1979 was when the SALT 2 Treaty was signed between the US and the USSR during the Cold War.

[@CamaraTragon]

I love how you evolved from a Girl eating bread in his room to a succesfull entrepreneur/businesswoman! Congrats on the new house! 🎉

As someone from NZ its so refreshing to see/hear Ushka. Especially her love of DIY and "we can do something with that" attitude.

[@Sara-bg1tu]

I just love how Ushka is always smiling. She brings such positive energy to the videos. I love you as a duo, honestly. Excited to follow this project as always! :D

[@kirseitis]

Congrats on the house. I couldn´t help searching for the vases. The shiny vase at 12:35 is a Iridescent Kurata Glass Vase, can possibly be worth around 12.000 yen. The mirror vanity with drawers is actually around the same value point.

[@SailorVdizzle]

Congratulations Sharla and Ushka!!! I can’t wait to see how you both transform this place!! I’ll be coming to stay at NekoNeko Inn next year, so I’ll definitely have to come stay at the new place once it’s ready!!! Much love from the US!! 🩷🩷🩷

[@briank8679]

What I've learned from this video: Everything for Ushka has dual use - whatever it's supposed to be used for, or a murder implement. Sharla is looking for money in the couch cushions. I also get unreasonably excited about nice bowls and plates. Happy vlogmas, Sharla! Thank you for sharing your life with us as usual and I can't wait to see the reno get underway!

[@sorwolfa]

I love these vlogs with Ushka. Her Energy is so relatable and you guys have such a cool friendship. Thank you for sharing these first days in the house with us. We are excited for you guys!

[@41tinman41]

16:40 Takao Horiuchi is an enka singer from the 90s! A signed poster like that should be worth something. Also, very hyped for the numerous pots, pans, plates, and bowls you got out of the house!

[@jinxgirl5]

Note to self, never make Ushka upset XD She sees so many possibilities for weapons around her! I'm super excited to see ya'll working on this house! It is my favorite of all the ones we've seen you look at, and I feel like the finished result is going to be amazing. The pair of you are so creative when it comes to this kind of thing!

[@joe41040]

That box with the mirror the turns into a vanity case. Dates back I think 1950th It a make-up and hairdressing stand, I've seen it in old Japanese paintings manuscripts. Allso a lot of Manga.😅 Do not get rid of it. Keep it or if I'm ever lucky to stay in your hotel. I'll take it😊❤

[@deep.c]

The hangiri, the dishes and the pretty floral "big and jumbo" pan all looked quite nice. No sacks of money, but some good finds nonetheless!

[@katelynlee8485]

That newspaper with the frames has President Carter in the photo visiting on the right side lol maybe that's why she kept it. I would love that pot with the flowers!

[@devinyandell5289]

Pls pls keep the art work you find. Vintage and retro artwork is so popular now a days. If its not the style you like I'm sure theres someone out there willing to pay big $$ to add to their collection of vintage Japanese decor. Love the 1st piece of artwork you found (the floral shell? picture. ~Starla (the Mrs.)

[@bcgrote]

I wonder if that was Jimmy Carter on the 1979 newspaper? He was US President then. Check the white vase for a maker mark on the bottom. That is some amazing art glass! If that rice cooker thing is a Zojirushi, you should keep it, they are amazing!

[@asicdathens]

The Japanese saw and plane are very nice. The plane especially is untouched. The saw has rusted a bit because it was unused. Wonderful tools

[@bigh3a]

The item in the bag in the loft that was netting and chains is a cast net. It will have a rope attached you will hold onto whilst you spin around before letting the net go. The weight of the chains on the bottom will pull the net down there closing it over a shoal of small fish or bait fish.

[@susanhawkins2386]

Hun you need to really check how valuable some of the things are ,that makeup stand ,lacquer bowls and iridescent vase xxxx

[@Gantorin]

The saw found in the closet is a Japanese flush cut saw. When there is over hang on wood you can use the blade to bend and cut the extra off to make it in line with what it is attached to.

[@TsurenaiYoru]

Between the flower rug and the flower pictures you can almost decorate a room. The winter picture was also so pretty

[@DaleNorth]

First off, it was so fun to watch you two explore. Also the record store bags were the coolest thing in there! Hopefully you kept them - they could make a really cool retro wall collage!

[@jocelynwhitephotos]

It’s so cool seeing what the previous owners collected when they lived there, it’s like a treasure hunt! You definitely scored with those cute dishes - it’ll be fun seeing how you and Ushka use them.😊

[@nikaime]

Why is this SOOO cool to watch (the two of you going through all the stuff)? Love it! ❤😆📦

[@OGLewbaby]

OMG!! I don't think it's antique but in the Movie "Memoirs of a Geisha" she had a kit sort-of like that with makeup and hair stuff.... very cool find! If you Google "wooden Japanese Geisha makeup box" you will see some neat ones that are similar and antique! Congrats on the new place ladies!!!

[@nenasnonsense]

Yup that's what I thought when I saw it too!

[@tydyecat]

The neighborhood kids voices came through your audio at the exact time you took the painting out and wondered if children lived there. It was gave an eerie vibe lol 8:43

[@texasburbs4380]

This is going to be so fun to watch! So glad you and Ushka found each other. Great team....

[@Kisai_Yuki]

I saw the previous episode where you were looking at this house and the second I saw the mold I was like "oh dear, that's going to be expensive to remediate properly". I'd suggest replacing the moldy stuff (not painting or trying to clean it, cause this will spread it.) Unlike North America, Japanese homes are usually not insulated that well (hence the prevalence of Kotatsu's) because if they do, they rot quickly. US/Canada Pacific Northwest homes have the same problem, but we design houses to to have fans (usually the bathroom fan, exhausted to the outside, runs on a timer) to keep them from getting moldy. You may get the same effect of running the A/C's to reduce mold growth when cooking/bathing. 19:20 that's a "cooler" yep.

[@francodambolena]

Congrats on the purchase!!! It's going to be a wild ride, you guys should make a series around renovations and the choices you go with while doing the house reno, can't wait to book a few days when you are done! Got it through good ol' cold cash or a loan? I'll be there around march to do some house hunting, hope I can bag one.

[@ughhgh5430]

Just wanna add to the Ushka love, she is such a bright and lovely person, I’m always happy to see her in your videos. You both make such a sweet duo!

[@rakechufernandez1273]

This is so fun! Usually people buy empty properties so this is definitely more interesting to see what people left behind. Glad to see you found some useful bowls for the kitchen. Can’t wait to see the next stage of the renovation 😊

[@Terahnee]

With this though I wonder why so much was left behind. Did they have to move unexpectedly and so left so much behind? Were they moving into a room where they didn't need kitchen items? So many questions...

[@shroomy666]

@@Terahnee i'm wondering the same... I was thinking maybe someone passed away...? I think the amount of stuff left behind is pretty abnormal, especially since there's some pretty sentimental stuff like graduation gifts and signed posters.

That car battery could be worth a few ¥¥¥ to a car collector.

[@Kniveschowyas]

Ushka is so funny in this, also the music makes me giggle

[@dinaboop]

Good luck renovating, seems almost like it would be easier to tear it down and rebuild from scratch, but it's cute how positive your attitude is towards the whole process, I'll try to let it rub off on me. I bought a house recently and have had to fix so much stuff, it's a battle!

[@Kazuki933]

Honestly, this is something I would do...ask them to leave the "junk" so I could browse through it to find gold lmfao. Almost maybe 12 years ago I helped clean out a hoarder house and it was so interesting what was inside. I love how every time you guys went through something it was always "Is it money?!". I hope this project goes well! Merry Vlogmas!

[@Terahnee]

I moved a lot growing up. Small moves like down the hall in an apartment building, and once we moved out of a house and back. When we moved back we found a box WE had previously accidently left in the garage rafters when we moved out 4 years prior. One move when my husband was in the military we found an entire cupboard the movers had forgotten about. Fortunately we found it before we actually left so were able to get it packed. The kitchen feels like it was just a whole room that was forgotten about with all the nice things they found.

[@BurleyBoar]

I'm in a mood. 8:08 The bag was a Japanese style home kit for home maintenance. 8:28 - I would so want to keep that three drawer green unit. It's that green you can't find any more and that late 70's early 80's style that is AMAZING. If I was rich enough, these are the sorts of things I would want to bring back to the States from trips to Japan. 18:00 I'm thinking vintage bags from famous record shops would be money to the right person. 18:23 Keep that trash can! Also, Sharla, you'll know when you hit mid-adulthood when you look at at an empty box and think "This is a good box. I should keep it."

[@JarodWilkerson]

So excited for you! Ive been interested in Japan since i was a kid many years ago, and I really hope if I ever finally get to visit that I can see or stay in one of your properties! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it

[@j134679]

the cast iron can be revived. the unused pans/pots are decent too. the rabbit plates are potentially worth something - looks like a collectors thing. all the plates are usable too

[@NessaGhouliful]

I was hoping you two would pick this place! I love going through old left behind belongings. The landlord of the neighborhood where I grew up, bought a house down the street that the previous owner, who was a hoarder, had left full of stuffs. My dad's an electrician and was doing the updating and called me over to go through to find anything I wanted to keep. I filled his work van to the brim. I found folding lounge chairs, old army foot locker, Yamaha organ, the old owners diary with entries back in the 80's, his poleroid photo album from the 80's - some of topless women holding a snake. Lots of random stuffs, my dad took the tools. The house was remodeled into an apartment building. It's haunted now.

[@ffwast]

It's haunted now? Not when the hoarder passed? 😆

[@NessaGhouliful]

@@ffwast The hoarder moved, probably still alive somewhere. But after it was remodeled into apartments, my uncle moved in. He died in it last year. If it wasn't haunted before, it probably is now LOL

[@porcorosso4330]

15:47 It won't work as a regular tv. (Well... Maybe with adapters...) Japan has switched from analog tv signal to digital tv signal like many places in the world. Older TVs that expects the analog signal will not be able to receive channels properly. Might be the same story for AM and FM radios as well...

When we bought our house same thing! There was some furniture we kept and got a discount for. The curtains that were custom made for the windows was the best. I wish I could through the house with you guys but I guess we all did in the video. The Kamakura snow art was amazing and I hope you guys frame it. I got so excited seeing the old newspaper. Saw the kanji for the Soviet Union and was excited cause it meant it was old. Can’t wait to see the next adventures of the house!

Previous owners seem to be people who did a little woodworking, a little fishing?, and did a fair amount of cooking. You really do wonder what their life was like. Those miso bowls are lovely, and that shoji is fantastic. Maybe consider Kitote (Norm's shoji) to help in renovating the doors.

So happy you can expand Neko Neko Inn! This house looks perfect! The empty tin you found I instantly thought you could use it as a stationary box :) I hope you're keeping the rug I caught a glimpse of in the kitchen, and all the artwork you found. Omg all the vases too! Such good treasures!! The little makeup cabinet is cute, and omg the tv ; A; it would be perfect to play an old console on if it works, like Sega Megadrive, or SNES or something :) I bet so much of it would be good for Chris' studio as well. And all the crockery, and the big pot, so amazing. Someone into vintage styles would 100% want those shoes. It's crazy to me that someone would just chuck it all, when so much is usable, recyclable, or able to be refurbed, glad it was you guys who got it and can maybe make use of a lot of it! :) excited to see how the house turns out!

Honestly, it's so much fun going through junk left behind when you buy a new house😂

Well you got some nice dishes and potential art work for the inn.
