This is the mountain we see from our windows!
Welcome to TheCatStore! Our name says it all - everything you find in our shop is about cats!
Welcome to TheCatStore! Our name says it all - everything you find in our shop is about cats!
Located in Japan, we are a husband and wife team of Japanese and Canadian origins. I moved to Japan almost 17 years ago and fell in love with everything from the paper to the pottery and the whole culture of crafting - and then I fell in love with a Japanese man. My husband, Futoshi is responsible for the marketing and promotion of all of our stores. Things are helped along greatly by Michiyo-san who provides packing assistance – when you receive your purchase you will see the care and unique flare she brings to her role. We are continually receiving praise for her packing expertise – you really do receive your items from Japan with love.
We opened our first shop FromJapanWithLove.etsy.com in 2007 and then we opened our vintage store VintageFromJapan.etsy.com in 2009.

Shipping
• Shipping covers all cost of 'shipping and handling'
I apologize for the confusing way Etsy has chosen to display the shipping costs. Unfortunately Etsy has removed the option to easily see costs.
Shipping And Handling: I want the packages to arrive in perfect condition and they have a long way to travel so my assistant is very careful when she packs your items. We have been left happy comments by customers in our other Etsy shops thanking us for the way our assistant Michiyo packaged their items. At this time, all items will be sent “small package” air mail so tracking is not possible and there is no insurance. Please note that we are not responsible for customs fees nor can we advise about the rules regarding customs fees for any country.
We ship 2-3 times a week. I will email/convo you after I ship your package so you know it is on the way. Just a note: If you place an order on a Thursday or Friday, given the time differences and my schedule, I won't likely be able to send your package until the following Tuesday.
As of May 31st 2008, all orders over $100 will be automatically upgraded to EMS so there will be tracking and insurance. All EMS packages will be sent on Thurdays or Fridays. I will email you the tracking number after I send the package.
