Gallery Sakuchi 
This gallery was founded in the Meiji era as a shop which dealt in tea, inkstones and Karatsu porcelain. Even though they handle many secondhand articles and antiques these days, their noren always features a tea-leaf because they have dealt in Uji tea leaves and powdered tea since the old days. Their sixth noren features a tea jar full of tea leaves on a powerful tea-green background.
