Nestled in Tokyo's upscale shopping district, Noritake Okura Art China Ginza is a boutique directly managed by the prestigious tabelware brand Noritake.
The shop displays a beautiful variety of tableware and ceramic art pieces. All are created using the manufacturing processes and craftsmanship that have been honed over the company's 110-plus years of history.
Ahead of the Christmas and New Year's holidays, the store is offering some limited seasonal items.
One such item is a figurine "Monkey" that embodies a sweeping form in a modern finish while maintaining a traditional Japanese style. In the Chinese zodiac, 2016 is the year of the monkey, an animal of charm that is believed to be a messenger of the yama no kami, or mountain spirits, in the Shinto religion.
Another recommendation is the 2015 Christmas plate featuring lovely ducks produced by Okura Art China, one of the Noritake's group companies.
