If you’ve been to an antiques market in Tokyo or one of the area’s many shrine sales in the past few years, it’s likely you’ve come across Jacqueline Wein — or Tokyo Jinja as she’s known to her dedicated band of online followers.
-Lisa Jardine on CNNgo
So today was a fun day! I was featured in an article about antiquing at the Kawagoe shrine sale on CNNgo. I’ve been getting positive feedback and lots of love all day! When I started this blog a year and a half ago, I never expected it to grow into the incredible place it has become – a crossroads of East and West – for design lovers around the world. I want to thank all my lovely readers and friends, and in particular the article’s author Lisa Jardine, who has her own blog – Wasabiwabi – where she chronicles her experiences here in Japan.
To read the article in full, click here. For more posts about shrine sales, click that topic under the categories list on the right. For information, dates and times of sales, click the Shrines Sale/Antique Show tab at the top of the blog. And as always, I am happy to answer questions and help you find the antique object of your dreams! I can be reached via email at jacquelinewein[at]yahoo.com.

I count myself among the lucky to have been able to “shrine sale” with you! Cannot wait for Tokyo in June. Congratulations Jacqueline – a well deserved “tip of the hat” to you and your expertise!

I love my little wood and sterling box that I bought at a shrine sale with you in 2005. Sending you many hugs and high fives!

Great article, well presented, and one point that needs highlighting is the revving up effect Tokyo Jinja has had on the flea markets. Dealers look out for Jacqueline and her followers and she has brought new energy and enthusiasm to an institution that had lost its impetus.
Hoorah for Jacqueline !
Hoorah for Tokyo Jinja !
The flea markets are one of the great activities in Tokyo and beyond, and Jacqueline is showing us how to open this treasure box and bring some things home with us. She even teaches us how to arrange them with style, using her encyclopedic mind for decor magazines.
She combines all worlds with fearless imagination and zest.
Bravo Jacqueline !
Keep it coming.
Tokyo Jinja
Amy – thank you so much for your comment – your support gives me so much impetus to keep moving forward!!!!
