For those who are looking for true wabi-sabi. This is a tokkuri (sake bottle) in the shape of a duck. Tokkuri of this shape was made in Toyama Prefecture during the Edo period and later in other potteries, but this item is made of a light metal like aluminum, and the inside is glazed to make it resistant to liquids. The outside has been left in a draft state, which was to be colored in the future. As you can see, there is some damage to the back of the item, but this in turn accentuates the antiquity of the item and gives it a nice flavor. It is functional enough to be used as a vase for a single flower by filling it with some water. The Japanese sense of beauty is strongly rooted in the mind that appreciates imperfection and enjoys using tools in ways that are different from their original purpose.
Please add this lovely duck to your Wabi-Sabi collection.

As our products are shipped from Japan they may be subject to taxes and to customs fees in the country of delivery. These costs are the customer’s responsibility.

For our customers in the USA:
Most packages with a declared value that is under $2000 USD will be cleared without any fees. (http://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/internet-purchases)

For our customers in Australia:
Orders below $1000 AUD are regarded as 'low-value imports' by Australian customs. As of 01 July 2018, customs duties may apply to any goods imported from overseas by consumers in Australia. For more information please visit the Australian customs website (http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Impo/Buyi).

For our customers in Canada:
Orders above $20 CAN require that you pay the applicable duties and the GST. For more information please visit the Canadian customs website (http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/postal-postale/dtytx-drttx-eng.html).

For our customers in the EU:
From 1 July 2021, import VAT is payable on all goods entering the EU, irrespective of their value. For goods with a value of more than €150, you will have to pay Customs Duty in addition to import VAT. The customs value on which Customs Duty is calculated is the cost of the goods plus transport (including postage), any insurance, and any handling charges to deliver the goods to the EU. The rate of Customs Duty that applies depends on the goods you import.


We understand that custom fees are worrying for some of you. We hope that you are reassured by the fact that, when buying on SOMOC, you really are ordering direct from Japan- getting authentic and original Japanese items that are not easily found anywhere else.

EMS (JP Post shipped, delivered by your National Post) generally charges the required sum at delivery.
