Antique shopping is a popular activity in America. There are many antique shops in almost every town. Some shops are very big and many shops are quite small.
Some antique items are small daily use items, some are dishes or vases, and some are large pieces of furniture.
This weekend we will be antique shopping in Kyoto. Antique shopping doesn’t seem to be as popular in Japan, but there are some good shops around.
We are hoping to find a small table for our small dining area, chairs with no arms for the same small area, and a getabako. A getabako is a kind of cabinet with places to store many shoes. In Japan we store the shoes in the entry hall because shoes are considered dirty and should not come into the house.
Do you have antiques in your home? Do you like antique shopping? Do you have a getabako?
