Ancient Grounds is a unique arts gallery selling tribal and ethnographic arts with a specialty in fine textiles from Japan. We were also a coffeehouse but retired it after 20 years early in 2020. Now we love to talk and educate about the spirit behind our offerings: hand-carved wood arts largely from the greater Pacific Rim, clothing and textile pieces from Japan [the best retail selection in the USA] and jewelry & gem arts. There's always a few surprises to be found where our business byline is- "Celebrate The Wonders!"
