Places to buy Japanese floor chairs (zaisu) in Osaka?
Hi, I'll travel to Osaka and Kyoto after new year on a vacation. I'm interested about Japanese floor chairs (zaisu) and would buy one for my home, if an opportunity comes.
Would someone be able to recommend a few places / shops / neighbourhoods in Osaka or Kyoto where I should go and hunt?
Thanks.

Tokyu Hands should have a few also

(The tiny triangle and the one that looks like a little ironing board are devices for letting you kneel on the floor more comfortably - the triangle is very portable, you pop one of the edges between your ankles and sit on the flat surface on the top. Stops you from squashing your calves and feet with your bottom. Particularly useful for funerals and memorial services where formality is required over extended periods.)

thanks Nishimark and Laplap for the links ^. they are not as expensive as i'd have thought (as a piece of furniture), of course a decent piece can cost a lot more i imagine.
