Gnomes Of Enlightenment
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil…
Does that include thinking uncharitable thoughts when you see a foreign blond guy trying to rock a Japanese 2-block haircut?
Or hating on the person in the upstairs apartment who seems to be hard of hearing and really really really likes enka music?
And what about snarky comments concerning The Honorable Duck Butt of Sugamo?
Inquiring gnomes want to know.
You can get your very own set of Enlightened Gnomes at Loft in Shibuya. If you’d like to visit a Loft store the next time you’re in Tokyo, maps are on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
where can we buy these gnomes
They sell them at Loft, in Shibuya, on the top floor.
Is there anywhere to buy them online
If you find an online source, let me know! The only place I’ve seen them for sale is Shibuya Loft. If you know someone who really really wants one, though, you can get White Rabbit Express to shop and ship for you.
