NOTE: Sometimes we sell a set of items (e.g. five cups, six plates) one by one. In this case we usually only take pictures of one of these items and use the same pictures for subsequent listings, unless there are any important differences (like e.g. damage). Sorry, it is just too much work - we can't keep up. If for any reasons you want to see the "exact" pictures of the object on sale, please e-mail us.
If you have any questions or want to see additional photos, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Payment
Payment:
By bank transfer (JPY, EUR or GBP) or by Paypal. Items need to be paid within one week. If you can't accomplish this for whatever reason, please contact us as soon as possible in order to avoid disputes.
Of course, if you buy more than one item, we will try to combine shipping whenever possible. However, please keep in mind that some of our items are shipped from the UK and others from Japan.
