ABOUT TONERICO MUSEUM

Truly a hidden gem, TONERICO MUSEUM is a space that itself is actually a piece of artwork - the building, location, the air, the sound, amazing collection of vintage and handcrafted beauties, and what is more the people behind all of it. Located on the hill  back of the small pond in Mashiko town in Tochigi prefecture, this exquisite place has given countless love to those who visited. It will be closing its doors later this year, so sadly, but we are very honored to have a small collection of their special vintage curation here on Uguisu store website to share with the world.
