Carolyn Kogura has been busy procuring new inventory to join the shelves of Maneki-neko cat statues, Japanese print bowls and displays of origami folding paper sets. A plexiglass shield is going up at the cash register next to the hand sanitizer and the COVID-19 protocols are posted on the window.

Kogura Co. Gifts is ready to reopen Sunday after being closed for nearly eight months because of the pandemic. Kogura says she never had a doubt that the gift store in San Jose’s Japantown would reopen. After all, she has a 92-year-old legacy to uphold.
