Hey, there's Gerard.
Tanya too!
I didn't make it to this but there was supposed to be some vintage Eames.
Play Mountain is a nice shop in the Shibuya area of Tokyo.  They carry contemporary craft, including some by California artists along with Heath Ceramics. The owner drew me a great map of where I should hit up in the area. He also suggested I go to Be a Good Neighbor Coffee Kiosk.

They gave me a lemon cake the first time I went and a button the second time. Super nice people and the coffee was great.
