BRAND NEW [WEDNESDAY]

Wabi-Sabi

April 18, 2007

Murata has new digs. If you don’t know these guys yet, it’s time you met. Hop the bus to East Broadway and check out their bigger space.

More room means more dishware – sushi sets, teapots, sake sets, serving plates and bowls – and other gorgeous items imported from Japan, such as lamps, vases, washi paper and more.

Colours run the spectrum from bright and colourful to quiet and refined.

Murata has been around for 15 years, so they’re obviously doing something right. What you’ll find is distinct Japanese tableware and gifts at reasonable prices. And everything is awash in their “WA LIFESTYLE” concept, which is intended to bring feelings of warmth, balance and peace into your life. Who couldn’t use more of that?
