I'm going to kick off my Japanese appreciation week with my all-time favourite Japanese artist, Shinzi Katoh.
Luckily for us, Shinzi Katoh's drawings feature on just about everything you can think
of. He is considered one of the world's premier zakka artists. Zakka
are things that make you feel happy and make your life more beautiful.
You can find Shinzi Katoh pieces in shops all over the world or at their online store. The Japanese site has more products but not quite as easy to order (unless you can read Japanese, of course).
If you are ever in Japan you can visit Shinzi Katoh's shop and museum in the Nagoya area. Details are on his website here.
These are so cute - great finds!
