Natural Furniture Nishioka

The biggest reason of modern environmental issues is mass consumption and mass disposal. Nishioka, as a furniture shop stands against this topic.

Located at Asakusa, Mr. and Mrs. Nishioka have a strong opinion about furniture.
Good furniture should be strong enough to be used for centuries, made of natural materials, and repairable. They supply furniture made of selected fine Japanese wood, painted with oil or Japanese lacquer*, all handmade by craftsmen with old techniques of Japanese building. Even after years, they will credit repairment.

We see many foreigners visiting Nishioka, attracted to the beauty of Japanese wood and lacquer. The small shop creates an at-home atmosphere, and even though the shop owners don't speak English, I'm sure you will be able to enjoy your shopping. The furniture are said to last for several hundred years, so how about shopping for your grand-grand children?


*"Japanese Lacquer" is a viscous liquid that exudes from under the bark of the lacquer tree. Said to be antibacterial, used to coat various things from buildings to pottery and utincils.
