Sukeroku

(Source : )
Founded in 1866, it's the only specialty shop for small toys of the Edo Period in Japan. During the Edo Period, the craftspeople honed their skills of making toys under the condition that sumptuary laws were often issued.  Their toys have the spirit of the craftsmen who were persistent about details. The smaller the size, the more elaborate the toy. The 4th generation shop owner can tell you stories related to toys in English about how the Edo generation put their wishes for health in each toy.
