A modest silver ring with a tiny chrysanthemum motif; well-balanced, a favorite as a promise or token.

A small enamel and silver pendant painted as a swimming koi; its lacquer gives a faint warm gloss.

A smooth, palm-sized agate polished to a glassy shine. Good for inlays or small offerings.

Creamy luster, about the size of a large marble. Valued as a token of sincerity.

A tiny, hand-carved jade fox used as a toggle on robes. Finely detailed eyes and tails.

A flat-faced ring ready for a family crest or merchant mark; set with a tiny rivet for sealing wax.

Soft black silk pouch with velvet lining for holding gems and coins.

A jeweler's toolkit: files, small saw, polishing wheel (hand crank), cloths and a jar of paste.

Grants advantage on a check to maintain/repair jewelry or appraise gems when used by a proficient crafter.

A tiny lacquered Daruma doll with one eye painted in. Carved with a hidden runic ward.

Once per long rest, the holder may reroll a failed ability check and must keep the second result. The doll's other eye is painted in after use and fades back over 24 hours.

A heavy brass coin rimmed in gold filigree, stamped with a koi and a small onyx inlay.

Once per day, when used during a social interaction, grants bonus to a single Charisma (Persuasion) check. The coin grows dim for 24 hours after use.

A delicate hairpin carved in the likeness of a fox with moonstone eyes. Wears gracefully in hair or could be tucked into clothing.

While worn, grants +1 to Charisma (Deception) and Charisma (Performance) checks. Once per short rest, the bearer can cast disguise self (self only).

A palm mirror framed with hammered silver and tiny sakura inlays. The glass shows a calm reflection.

Gives advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks made while studying someone's face in the mirror (once per short rest, 10 minutes of study). Alternatively, while gazing into it for 1 minute, you can gain advantage on one saving throw vs. being charmed.

A deep-red ruby with a faint asterism; kept in a little lacquered box with silk padding.

Fine silver earrings in the shape of leaping koi; their inlay seems to shimmer when music plays.

Grant advantage on Performance checks involving singing or playing a melodic instrument once per short rest (the effect lasts for one performance).

Natsumi offers resizing, stone setting, and light repairs. More complex jobs quoted after inspection.

Major repairs with rare materials charged extra; appointments take 1–7 days depending on workload.
Armor1

A decorated sword guard reworked into an elegant brooch; brass inlaid with shakudō details.

Worn as a brooch, it provides no mechanical armor benefit but can be used as an improvised shield once per short rest (counts as using a hand to brace, grant +1 to AC for one attack).
Weapons1

A short tanto given as a ceremonial ornament; edge is fine but primarily decorative.

Nonmagical; can be used as a dagger for all intents and purposes.

Shop Atmosphere

“Natsumi arranges every item in the shop according to an old family ritual — pieces with red thread must face east. She hums a plaintive shamisen tune while working and offers green tea to any customer who will sit and speak plainly about why they seek a piece. She dislikes loud coin-clinking and will place purchases in soft silk boxes if she hears one of her koi throwing themselves in the pond (a small indoor koi pool). If you ask to haggle, she'll first offer you a proverb and then a modest discount if you can tell a better one.”
