Halloween Treats at 188 Galerie

October is here! Falling leaves. Cooler days. Harvest and Halloween.

Classic Macabre : On Halloween make merry with this Big Bones Poster from Charles Lahti Studio #lahtipopup

Evolving from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, modern Halloween has become less about literal ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy.

a tale of two cities

There are many parallels to be drawn between Tokyo, Japan and New York City, USA.



Both are distinct bustling metropolises with impressive skylines and 24/7 entertainment.



Cities that never sleep or stop.

Summer Koinobori

Our koinobori are back here at 188 Galerie

188 Galerie Store Front with Koinobori

Cooling off the New York City summer heat blazing off pavements as they sway cheerfully in the breeze over the shop's awnings. 

Koinobori for Sale at 188 Galerie

Koinobori are carp shaped or painted banners and streamers sewn into windsocks to flutter gaily overhead with hopes of bringing good fortune to homes and families that raise them.

hot shot summer

Summer is here and the heat and humidity in New York City has baked us in lazy waves of lethargy.

Time to go on our summer vacations and nothing spells a breezy break better than an aloha shirt

Turning Japanese

I've got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote "I love you"
I love you too
I sit there staring
and there's nothing else to do

be my valentine

Be still my beating 

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
