More Japanese Items

I have placed our soaps on this main page so that they would not get lost among the other extraordinary items listed in this category.

The links on the left will guide you to our proprietary blends of Rooibos Tea, Green Tea and other Japanese items.  Made In Japan, Occupied Japan will show you some porcelains and pottery pieces.  The link for Miscellaneous will take you to a page that could have just about anything Japanese that doesn't fit into a category I already have, and will always be worth browsing!

Enjoy your journey!

Ginger & Honey Drink.

This is a marvelous drink.  It is nothing more than crystallized ginger and honey; no additives or chemical vehicles.  The package suggests that the packet be dissolved in 1 cup of hot water, and this is great when you are not feeling well, or if you have the flu or are nauseated.  If you will stir it into 1 2/3 cup of hot water, it is a wonderfully pleasant and relaxing drink just for the taste of it.  Ginger has a spicy-hot back taste on it; this is temporary and fades quickly.  The honey is gently sweet, not overpowering, which is especially easy on the stomach.  The packets are sold two ways:  2 packets for $1.25 or 20 packets for $10.00.  

Scented Soaps.

These are very comforting to use in aroma therapy, or even if you are tired of your bath soap making you smell like a department store perfume counter during rush hour. The soaps are 2.65 ounces each, and my current fragrances are Sandalwood, Ginseng, Rose, and Jasmine. Also lovely as gifts or hostess soaps, they are priced right at $2.50 per bar. 

Toothbrush Holder, Wall Pocket, Bellhop.

This is one of the cross collectibles; it is a toothbrush holder, which is an extremely collectible item, and it is also a wall pocket, which is another much sought item.  As you can see from the photos, this one is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, and only the most minimal loss to the cold paint (there is actually virtually NO paint loss, I say minimal to cover anything that is incorrectly perceived as paint loss.)  It has the standard openings for two toothbrushes, and the large feet enable the bellhop to stand upright easily, while the hole in the back allows it to be hung on the wall if you prefer that method.  To the top of his cap he is 5" tall, and the base measures 1 3/4" x 1 1/2".  It is a very reasonable $75.00. 

SOLD Japanese Teapot With Four Covered Cups.

I feel quite fortunate to be able to present this set.  I have always enjoyed the covered tea cups, and these are very nice indeed!  Each piece has it's own cover, and of course there is a tiny vent hole in the cover for the teapot.  The maker's chop is present on each cup, and on the teapot on the underside of the spout as well.  The basic color is a very light bone, with the side handle and spout of the teapot in white.  The teapot does have the built in strainer inside to catch the tea leaves and keep them out of your cup.  The cup covers, of course, keep your tea warm while you converse with your host.  From spout to the back, the teapot measures about 5", and is about 2 1/2" tall without the lid.  The cups each measure 2 7/8" across the mouth.  All pieces are in excellent condition.  My green tea would be a perfect compliment to this set, whether you buy it for yourself or as a gift.  The set is $75.00.

SOLD Muffineer Set; Peach, Blue, and White LusterWare.
