東欧・手しごと　チャルカ

For many years, as I traveled throughout Eastern Europe, I had frequent opportunities to consider a simple question: What brings abundance to our lives? Charkha is a place where warmth and a sense of nostalgia can be shared with others.
This is not simply a place where “things” are sold. Rather, this is a space filled with folkloric charm, where care, and attention to detail can be found in each of our various items and handcrafted goods from Eastern Europe. Our store also has a large bookshelf with a collection of local catalogues and translated texts, while our small cooking classes and handicraft workshops will give you the sense that you’ve journeyed to an Eastern European home. Through this range of products and services, we continue to share tips and wisdom for our daily lives, demonstrate the beauty of objects, and express the joy of making.

We sell various items and travel ephemera brought back from The Czech Republic, Hungary, and other Eastern European countries, along with stationery items made in Japan. We also offer specialty paper, ornaments, handicraft materials, and folk crafts, as well as other small treasures and lovable odds and ends. Our store also has an exhibition area where you can peruse valuable embroidery, textiles, and glass products handmade by local artisans for a fee.
