Just a five-minute walk from Hatagaya Station, Bullpen is a thoughtfully curated furniture and lifestyle shop nestled in the nostalgic Nishihara shopping arcade. Run by a duo with backgrounds in furniture retail, the owners travel both within Japan and abroad to source unique items selected with a designer’s eye and a craftsman’s sensibility.
Bullpen offers a range of one-of-a-kind finds, including their original plant-based liquid soap, 'Palos', available in two distinctive scents: 'Abstract Plants', a woody blend inspired by Japanese cypress, and 'Angelic Chorus' a sweet, exotic fragrance centered around ylang-ylang.
The store’s name reflects the founders’ commitment to fostering strong relationships with the makers – much like the trust between a pitcher and catcher on the field.
