We were so happy to meet up with Raul, cousin of James! He was also in the USA helping his daughter settle down for school. We accompanied him to buy the mattress which Mia wanted. So Raul came from Brooklyn and we met up. Mia wanted a specific mattress – futon – which was available only in Miya Shoji in New York!

The shop really sells furniture- Japanese chests, tatami and tables and Japanese screens.
Happy to meet the owners- Father Hisao and son Zui. Miya Shoji means temple carpenter so they make furniture using the old Japanese way without any nails! They assemble the furniture without nails
Petrified Wood Coffee table US$ 12,000
If I am not mistaken this is a 300 year old stone – US$ 8,000 for this one!
US$ 80,000 for this beautiful table

Futon is just an accessory they sell with the tatami. Papa Raul happy to grant the request of Mia and make sure she sleeps comfortably 🙂
