My friend Ninja and I went to a new contemporary jewellery shop Facile in Kyoto on Marutamachi-dori, opposite the Gosho. The owner, KOJIMA Takashi focuses on custom made jewellery and selling his own pieces. His mother is also in the business, being a collector of antique jewellery, and have numerous pieces on display and for sale. Facile is Italian for “easy”.

The floating cabinets. The interior is a mixture of modern and classic styles. Lovely.

Beautiful pieces and a beautiful shop. Ninja and I had a great afternoon.
