“Don’t you just love shopping for craft stuff that you might not ever use?” Yes. Yes So Much. There are two hobbies. One is crafting, the second is shopping for crafting things.

That’s why I want to go to Japan. They have so much cool and cute things I want to buy it alllll. Also their cafes have themes, I especially want to visit a cat cafe

I live vicariously through these videos on the chance that someday i'll go on a stationery/art supply splurge in Tokyo!

Same!

Since forever I always go crazy about school supplies stores or stationary stores. When my kid’s started school it was heaven for me, but even when they went to college. Unfortunately they are grown and no longer in need of anything like that. BUT … Now I have a granddaughter 🥳🤗 and of course I’m at it again 😂. Happy shopping everyone 😊

It is wonderful when artists are supported that way by the community.

"I had no self control in Japan". Yo, talk about keepin' it real 😆👍👍 . Every human who's travelled to Japan can relate in some capacity to that playful confession of yours. I laughed out loud when your thumbnail popped up on my page. Having lived and worked through a long boring dark English winter is so worth it when I'm finally in Japan, shopping and eating to my heart's content. Course I have self control financially but there's a certain lavish indulgence when holidaying that feels wild and gives the illusion of no self-control. Which gives me enormous joy. Thanks for not gatekeeping Natasha-- you're doing your bit for the Japanese economy and for art in general. THANK YOU!! PS= Doesn't everybody love it when they return home and go through all the stuff they'd forgotten they bought when in Japan and then sits and edits all their travel photos whilst drinking a huge cup of coffee? Is that not THE BEST?! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I went to Japan in 2017 and if I knew about these art stores I would still be there now. I love Japanese stationary, they have everything imaginable and stuff that you never thought you needed.

"How do I stop myself" you don't. We slowly just accept the fact cute things call to us and want us to buy them. I'm not even a craft person but the amount of things I want and would never use scares me lol.

love your genuine excitement over seeing the colors and designs of even some of the little and niche things haha I totally am the same at the store and its fun to vicariously through you until I can make my own Japan trip! Love your art and hope you had a great time!

Don’t mind me, just living vicariously through this video and crying inside at the same time 😂😂🥺🥺

Art, craft and stationery are my weakness. Always have been and always will be. And THANK YOU for making this video!!!!

living my artstore in tokyo dreams through this video... I love all the outfits you both wore throughout soo much!!

loved this, natasha!! you were wondering if we liked this style of video, and i can safely say I enjoy watching any of the things you like to share, simply because your personality is just so wonderful!! you just honestly always brighten my day; your friends and wynn are so lucky to be around you in person! ~ also i will never understand why shops wouldn't like you recording in the store when it's free advertising 😂

I love stationary ! That was very soothing to watch in your company. thank you

thank u so much!! im going back in the spring and im really looking forward to checking these out 🫶

Your energy is soooo infectious and super positive! Thanks for being you ❤️

Looking and buying cute and unique stationaries and art materials is a therapeutic way for me 😁

this really helped me to decide wich store should i go to and the artbook section gave the store a bonus!! im going there🥹💖💖💖 excited for Oct

You and Wynn are so cute!! 💜 I loved this chilled craft shopping trip

You're so adorable! You are so full of joy! Shopping must be the BEST with you!

High Tide and Sekaido were my favorites for sure, not too big that you get overwhelmed but not too simple with quality goods. I would definitely go a little crazy with pens. Id look for one that has ink and stylus combined but like a good battery stylus and ink pen. Those arts books were really good, the hand book will be invaluable ❤

Great video! Loved seeing the stores and hearing your impressions. I'm dying to go to Japan and visit these stores.

These are all soooo cool 😮 it must’ve been really fun ❤

Tokyo art supply stores are the absolute bestest!! And i love that glass bottle book!

This was a highly relatable video and you’re so adorable! Glad I found you & subscribed! 😊

OMG I would be so overwhelmed, yet very excited.

Live your outfits !!

I’m the same way with planners and journaling!! I love digital art, but I need a digital free place to think and declutter my mind. Funny you mentioned the copics, I actually got a few small sets to play with off Amazon last week. I’m starting a digital free art space for myself too so I have a place to unload and not worry about sharing things to social or making it perfect or whatever. I’ve also never really played with markers or copics before, so I’m excited for them to arrive. I didn’t get the crazy pack though just skin tones and nature colors. This was such a nice video! I love your channel, style and personality so much. You’re so fun and upbeat to watch and listen to when I’m feeling low or uninspired 😊

Omg I grew up with Barbapapa too! It was fun watching you shop! 🧡

Earlier this year I visited Japan for the first time exclusively to visit stationery shops and your video perfectly captures the experience! Although I managed to find a beautiful coloring book at Sekaido, I will make sure to spend more time by their books section next time I visit :)

Loved this!!!

Just happened upon this video and you are wonderful! Thanks for the tours. Japan is an art store Mecca! ❤

Great video! And I love the vibe of your vlog. Thanks for sharing your art stores experience in Japan! ✨ Also couldn't help but notice the Jeonghan and Hoshi lockscreen 😆🩷🩵

Great video! I'm going to Tokyo very soon and I'm currently in my watercolor phase so this is great help :D Sekaido is already on my list so i'm excited!!

I found your channel the other day, and have been watching your videos literally whenever I can😂😂 I love your style, and also feel happy when hearing about Japan and Japanese words from you! Btw, you reminded me of my favorite book called "ミッケ！".

So so sorry to hear about your US trip! The devastation! 😭 Hopefully you’ll get another chance soon 💛 This video was really fun though. I tried to go to the Hightide Store in Los Angeles and they were closed that day 😭 but I have the same Penco nesting boxes, I love them so much!!

After watched your video and read the comments, I don't feel lonely anymore, happy to know a lot of people love to go those shops and buy stuff that never are going to be used :). My favorite item is the cabbage shaver, love it, very useful. Keep enjoying!

Natasha, I just found your videos and as a fellow ‘art/craft supplies hoarder’ I love them!! Question: Have you ever thought about designing a colouring book and/or day-planner??

A stationery & art supplies store in Japan could bankrupt me! 😍

My wife saw me watching this video and she said that she was so glad that we don't live in Japan as she thinks that I spend too much money already in UK craft stores! 😆 ...I think she would worry that we would have no money left for food if I was let loose in one of these Japanese stores! Excellent video, thank you.👍

Nice shopping haul! You use the front bits of the metal stand to fix book pages if you use it for books.

Omg these art stores are a true dream. 😍 We usually have much smaller art stores in my country, so I would actually get lost in these, haha. Loved the hauls and the pieces you got, they were all so wonderful! ☺️💖

from Australia and hearing you use spotlight as a comparison was really cool, we have that store here too!

I know this was from a long time ago, but were the books all exclusively in Japanese, or were there some in English or with English translation?

3:55 ohh barbapapa!! i know that show! i only discovered it recently since my little brother started watching it but the show is really cute! title is such a mouthful to say though lmao. but once you get the gist of it it gets pretty easy to remember.

Natasha you are the bestest! Love Your videos so much :) keep em coming. Love from Scotland 😊🎉❤😊❤😊🎉

I honestly wasn’t expecting anything from this video, just your standard art store tour but your personality was so vibrant and warm that I couldn’t help but gush over the same things you loved. I recently took a trip to sekaido and fell in love with everything. edit: pls tell me where u got that killua poster behind u❤

Im going to Japan in June and staying in Ginza, i absoloutly cant wait to go to all the art stores, that washi section alone looked amazing! I think my partner might get fed up of waiting for me, all the shops are so many stories 😂😂

As a woman in my thirties I LOVE your calm energy!

I can’t believe your video just popped up on my main page. First, you are just so much fun! I love your sweet spunky energy! I would go nuts over there in all these shops. Right at this very moment my nephew is on a plane to Japan. He is in the Air Force and has waited forever to take this trip with a few of his AF buddies. I wish I knew what to tell him to get me.😄

I'd love to visit the last one. Beads are my jam.

Is very nice the colors moder cute.And the materials.Is perfect happiness
