i go to visit a japanese restaurant today at westheimer area, matsusaka grill is place, they show to me an ad of furniture store in chinese newpaper, they show tatami mat and zabuton seat, w/ many proper look japanese furniture items, it is on the Harwin street some mention here on fora, at Fondren cross... i try to visit tomorrow. sorry for any bad grammer, my english is not perfect and my romanji is not so good either! what is 'Crank Yankers'? thanks to all for help, and any other advice or point where i can check... i hope to find real tatami platform, but maybe to large item to find here.

thanks you to all who reply my question, very nice to find so much advice answer here! i will drive to the areas that are mentioned (bellaire, harwin)... i did visit a japanese restaurant here houston last night and tried to ask their shoji doors come from, but it turns not to have any japanese people working in it! i feel vary silly after speaking japanese to them and they only laugh, i don't speak any korean, haha! i will look around more this week, i fall out of bed this weekend and hurt my head, it is to high up for me to be safe! thanks you all for your help, vary nice to find people here who try to help, i will keep looking, my apartment is small so not to much furniture do i need..!

hello all! my first visit and post to this forum, i hope this is not off-topic but it seems would not be! i am recently moved to houston area from Tokyo, and am seeking somewhere in Houston area where i may shop for japanese furniture? importing furniture from japan would be very expensive for me, and i was hoping to find somewhere in Houston that deals in furniture like i seek. i wish to purchase: tatami mats (for floor covering) zabuton (seating cushions for floor) tables that are low (12" to 15" in height?) ...among other items that i need, contemporary lighting and such. if anyone could be kind to direct me to some appropriate places to shop for such furniture i would be very happy to receive! i do not need the most of expensive furnishings, but would like to find decent quality. if anyone can help please post for me here, and thx in advance for any direction you to may send to me..!
