Blooming Art Gallery

A great gift store for small Japanese goodies

by lwmango

The name of this store is a little misleading as they're not a gallery in the traditional sense. They sell prints of both traditional Japanese work (ie brush paintings) and the work of contemporary American artists like Warhol. Come here if you want some knick knacks rather than fine art. They carry a wide range of cell phone charms that include tiny stitched teddy bears and lucky owls. You can also find ceramic statues of the lucky greeting cat and coin purses and bags made of brocade.

• Pros: Friendly Staff, Parking
• Cons: Not actually a gallery
