[Yaba-cho] Variety Shop "SEANT" is a Place where you can Find Things that you can Cherish for a Long Time
Table of Contents
A 6-minute walk from Yabacho Station. The interior shop "SEANT" is located on the corner of the downtown area. Based on the owner's idea of "things that can be cherished for a long time", they have a wide variety of items from both Japan and overseas, including stationery, kitchen goods, bath goods, interior goods, furniture, and simple and high-quality clothes.
This time, we asked Mr. Tanaka, the owner, what items he recommends and popular items among the many.
Stationery that makes you want to give as a gift
The stationery handled by SEANT is a bit different from general ones. They carry rare stationery products mainly from Eastern Europe and attractive products that make you want to gift them to someone.
130 yen (excluding tax)
This oil-based pen is from the standard oil-based pen "sharpie" in the United States. Kei Nishikori, a famous tennis player, signed his signature with this pen. However, since it has withdrawn from Japan, it seems that even SEANT is a product as long as it is in stock.
It is made by Centropen, a brand of writing instruments from the Czech Republic, which is still rare in Japan. These ballpoint pens are loved by a wide range of people in Europe, from children to adults. Its simple yet Eastern European design and nostalgic retro feel are appealing.
97 yen per sheet (excluding tax)
There were also many postcards that we couldn't resist picking up. These postcards are from Gekkoso, an art supply store in Ginza established in 1917. As the name "Humor Cards" implies, each card has a heart-warming and humorous "poem" added to the ticklish illustration. Each illustration is printed by hand.
