Girls' Day Out

Saskia and I visited the Oedo Antiques Fair today, a market that takes place twice a month at Tokyo International Forum. It's definitely worth a visit for people traveling to Tokyo even briefly. Our favourite find was a vendor selling antique kimonos and quilts for dolls, as pictured above. Saskia also enjoyed rifling through colourful baskets of silk kimono fabric, a fortunate diversion from the delicate antique ceramics on display! Afterwards, we walked to the Muji flagship store, often described as Japan's version of Target in the US, but much, much better! They sell affordable homeware, clothes, etc., with a distinctly Japanese minimalist style. Its also a good place to grab a quick lunch in the area.
