Thank you for visiting our online store. You will find here a lot of the pieces that you can actually see when coming to our shop.
We can't unfortunately show everything online as we have so many unique pieces changing regularly and a lot of them are waiting in our workshop to be cleaned up or restored. So don't hesitate to contact us if you don't find here what you are looking for.
To start your visit, please choose from the 17 categories in the green bar above this introduction.
NEW: You can also request a custom made video like those you can see here
Our selection criteria:
We find our pieces during the two to three months we spend each year in the South of Japan and North-East Asia through small dealers and local people (no wholesalers). This explains the wide range of items you can see in our shop. Our sole basic criteria is that it must be authentic (no reproduction), have less than 20% of restoration and preferably made before 1920.
