Antiques

I recently learned about an antique furniture shop in Okayama called Kimidori. It’s in Bancho, near the big Tomato Bank. I’m usually not one to go antique hunting, but last Monday I had a chance to stop by and explore (actually, I was searching for a new computer desk, but that’s a whole other story).

The inside is divided into two different buildings, and one of them is an old, traditional warehouse. It’s surprisingly large inside, and absolutely packed with Showa-era furniture, dishes and silverware, and decorative trinkets.

It’s well worth a visit, even if you don’t want to buy anything. They even have a sign encouraging people to take pictures – so that’s exactly what I did.
