Welcome to guiq´chaq


"guiq' chaq" is very unique & elegant, newly opened Japanese "Gothic & Lolita" concept boutique in middle of charming & lively St. Germain - St. Michel area in Paris.

The name "guiq' chaq" stands for Japanese word, "Giku shaku" which means "awkward", a word used to express the condition of "discomfort" occurs just before things get sorted and dissolved.

So, named the boutique "guiq' chaq" with sincere expectation that we will surely have the little time to go through to introduce Japanese sub-culture to the locals, and sometimes it may look weird and shocking to locals, but eventually, we will be successful to make incredible results and become a meeting point of Japan & France to start with towards entire Europe from this tiny local, but very exclusive area of Paris.



There is another reason why "guiq' chaq" is very unique boutique, we call.
The boutique functions as a gallery also.

"Lost Princess" 2008, Kosuke TSUMURA

We carry “Japanese art pieces” as well as unique & elegant Japanese fashion products.

Basic idea is that the boutique means to be an exciting cozy den to meet Japanese art talents as the “meeting point of Japanese culture”.

We chose carefully and try to carry art pieces done by well-known fashion concept Japanese artists and also un-known artists with special talent regularly for you to discover & purchase.

For opening special, art pieces of Kosuke TSUMURA, designer of FINAL HOME as well as well known artist.
And also, his new art unit "Monaka" are now displayed at the boutique for you to meet these valuable Japanese contemporary arts and possibly purchase them.
Just come & see!

This cutting-edged, charming Japanese "Gothic-Lolita" petit château also creates events & parties for you to dress up, meet other people and experience Japanese culture regularly.

For example, on the opening day of the boutique, we had a little "HANAMI" style party to share this happy day of its birth with first arrival of spring..."HANAMI" is Japanese word of "Cherry blossom seeing".

This cherry blossom scenery in Japan is already well known in the world how it is crazily beautiful with magnificent view with that the cherry blossom looks like covering entire country during this season in Japan, and actually it is "crazy" party time under the trees for people.

On that day, we invited great musician all the way from Japan and had a beautiful "Shakuhachi" live music to create incredible atmosphere of Japan in the season.

"Shakuhachi" is traditional Japanese bamboo flute and it is perfect for bringing us the scent of first spring wind added to our "HANAMI"...

Also what is magnificent scene for our opening at the corner of Paris was the player, "Yosuke IRIE", he dresses absolutely "Goth", his music creates magnificate mood of gentle and hard, contemporary and tradition...

UTAHIME-GAKUDAN

Always musically fun,the Utahime-Gakudan's performances are a trip back in time you should experience at least onece. Since the solo identity vocalist Mai Higuchi formed the band in Jan 2000, they repeated several member alternations until 2005 and finally setteled down in a present member.

Their music is a fusion of sounds ranging from Swing to Big Band Jazz to R&R and even Garage Rock. They believe the goal is to make and share melodic music in the same vein as Kayoukyoku from the beginning and middle of the Showa era("Showa"referring to the period that dominated a good proportion of the 20th century when Kayoukyoku was at its most popular).
