What you’ll find

What Izumiya is known for

Izumiya works near the shore of Lake Ashi, cutting and gluing rods of naturally colored woods into the geometric mosaics that face its trays, jewelry boxes and himitsu-bako puzzle boxes. The shop ships internationally and lists trick chests, kokeshi and spinning tops alongside its marquetry, all made by hand in Japan.
