Another trader closed down... this one used to sell small silver trinkets and decorative pieces for the genteel interior. Now people SELL silver - do not buy it! so the little shop closed down . Note the original Victorian wooden window frame!

The flower, known in Japan as aoi (葵?), was incorporated into the official seal (mon) of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan, and through this influence has maintained importance in modern Japanese culture. For example, it has become the name and symbol of a professional soccer club located in a city formerly led by the Tokugawa family. The Aoi Matsuri (Hollyhock festival) is one of the three main festivals of the city of Kyoto. In addition, in the manga series Lone Wolf and Cub the seal is worn by Ogami Itto, the protagonist of the series, whilst he is in service to the shogun.
