Beginning Friday, October 26th, Tortoise will be exhibiting Japanese vintage tools and folk craft ranging from wood, ceramics and iron for a month-long market that ends Sunday, November 18th. 

As always, vintage sales are final.  Items cannot be shipped so we request that you come to see these pieces in person and take them with you.
