Inside the Kura
Inside the Kura
A free 56-page guide to looking at Japanese antiques.
What's inside
- A 20-page illustrated story — what a storehouse is, and why so much survived inside one
- A field guide to fifteen kinds of object — ceramics, lacquer, blades, textiles, baskets and others
- Three pages on buying from Japan
No prices. No sales pitch. Just how to look.
If one thing stays with you, it will be this: the next time you pick up an old Japanese bowl, you will turn it over and look at the foot.
Instant download. No account needed.
Free, and it arrives at once. Afterwards I write every other week about a single object. You can stop whenever you like.
Questions people ask
Do I need to know anything already?
No. It starts at the beginning.
Why is it free?
Because it is also how I show you what I know. If you ever buy something from me, I would rather you knew what you were looking at.
What happens to my email address?
You get the guide, then a letter every other week about a single object. Nothing else — and you can stop whenever you like.
