During a recent trip to China, we discovered some fabulous miniature 12 inch high tabletop screens. These gems come in a number of very pretty designs and are rare finds in the world of Asian décor. We have seen almost no websites or stores offering them. We were delighted with the quality and craftsmanship of these special tabletop screens. Each screen has four panels with unique designs in each panel. One of the best features of the miniature screens is that they are completely double-sided. Indeed each has a completely distinctive design on the rear side. This means they can be used as a 360 degree display. Any of the attractive screens we brought back from China will make a beautiful decorative display on a table, stand, desk or shelf. We also sourced the same screens in a smaller 8 inch height. As of today, August 8, all of the 12 inch screens are available for purchase. The 8 inch screens will be made available within the next week. Browse the selection and let us know what you think.

For more than 2,000 years, saki has been considered the traditional rice wine of Japan. It is one of the most popular drinks in Japan, and the history of drinking saki has a rich tradition associated with it that continues to this day. The alcohol content of saki is usually around 10-20% and it can be taken hot or cold. In most instances, saki is drunk from small ceramic cups called “choko” and poured from a flask, which the Japanese call “tokkuri.” It is a tradition that saki be enjoyed with family and friends and often it is taken to mark important occasions. The Japanese believe that one should never pour their own saki, but that a friend or family member should pour the drink and vice versa. In some instances, the first sipping of saki during a get together goes in order of age, from the youngest to the oldest. Today there are saki bars throughout Japan and even in some Western countries. This short piece was written as a result of the great response we received on our new line of Japanese saki sets.
