Here's a fun one for the early Christmas shopping crowd – this one at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre.
The centre is holding its annual Nikkei Christmas Boutique on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It offers one-stop shopping for Japanese items and items made by Nikkei artisans – with jewelry, gift cards, sewing, clothing and scarves, vintage haori jackets, handmade porcelain, woodwork, scented soaps and bath bombs, Japanese-inspired treats, teas from Kyoto and much more.
Admission is free. Drop in to the Nikkei Centre, 6688 Southoaks Cres., to check it out – or see centre.nikkeiplace.org for all the details.
