🇨🇦 Vancouver | A Tiny Slice of Japanese Lifestyle Aesthetics🎐✨

I’ve had ITSUMO bookmarked for ages—even stalked their website a few times. When I spotted it next to a weekend coffee stop, my friend and I raced in the second they opened . 🏡 The Vibe: - Minimalist yet warm —pure *wabi-sabi* elegance in every corner. - Curated goods from Noda enamelware to Iga pottery —*tableware lovers, beware your wallet!* 🍶💸 - That one perfect find: A 2025 reprint of a Showa 22 (1947) calendar by *Serizawa Keisuke*, blending bold layouts with seasonal motifs. (*"Last year to buy it!"* whispered the staff.) 💫 Why It Shines: - **Staff who *care*—they’ll geek out over materials, brands, and usage tips without a hint of sales pressure. - "ITSUMO" = "Always"**… and here, *everyday objects feel sacred*. My Yanagi Sōri soup spoon now makes stirring ramen a *ritual*. 🥢 - Prices? *Beautiful (and ouch-worthy).* But quality whispers , *"You’ll have me for life."* Perfect for: Slow Sundays 🛋️ | Thoughtful gifting 🎁 | Pretending you’re in Kyoto ⛩️ 📍 ITSUMO 279 E 6th Ave, Vancouver #WabiSabiVibes #JapaneseDesign #QuietLuxury #VancouverFinds
