About us
My journey with Japanese culture began at home. Inspired by my grandad and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, I grew up surrounded by beautiful objects — from toys to tableware, colours, textures, and patterns. Simple things, like choosing a favourite bowl for ramen, created a lasting respect for the artistry behind everyday objects.
My grandad, Mr. Padam Bahadur Giri, was the founder of a tea estate in Nepal in the 1980s. He was an incredibly hardworking and disciplined man who believed strongly in integrity, dedication, and building something meaningful through patience and effort.
From him, I learned the importance of quality over quantity, respect for traditional craftsmanship, and the value of authentic materials rather than mass-produced goods. His principles continue to guide the way I choose every piece in our collection today.
Although I come from Nepal, my journey eventually brought me to London — a city that has given me incredible opportunities and taught me so much. I feel truly grateful for the inspiration, diversity, and creativity that London offers, and it has played a big part in shaping my path.
Over the years, my love for Japanese design and culture grew into a personal collection of bowls, plates, lucky cats, and traditional crafts. Slowly, that passion developed into Tokyo Gallery Ltd.
Our shop originally opened on 19 December 2019 in Camden Market, London, after a year of planning. Today, Tokyo Gallery operates exclusively online, allowing us to share authentic Japanese craftsmanship with customers around the world.
All of our items are carefully sourced and imported directly from skilled craftsmen and artisans across Japan. When selecting pieces, I look for unique designs, small-batch production, beautiful colours, and the authenticity that only traditional materials and techniques can provide.
Through our online store, we proudly offer traditional Japanese gifts, tableware, and handcrafted pieces with worldwide shipping, making it possible for people everywhere to discover and enjoy the beauty of Japanese culture.
Wherever you are in the world, we warmly welcome you to discover the charm and elegance of Japanese craftsmanship with us.
