Zen Antiques, an authentic Japanese antiques store, was founded in 2023, with a wish that unique Japanese antiques are widely enjoyed and appreciated by European customers. Therefore, we base ourselves in Belgium, in the heart of Europe.
We rejoice the culture of our mother country, Japan, for the valuable artefacts, inherited techniques, and unique traits from earlier generations. We respect & love our ancestors for the creativity, craftsmanship, and the smile-inviting playfulness.
Japanese artisans find a balance of beauty in an imperfection, which is the concept of Wabi Sabi. They respect & appreciate how nature creates beauty. Their masters are trees and flowers, mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, rocks and waves, monkeys and racoons. They see rabbits dancing on the moon. And they worship different gods dwelling in every part of nature.
We are privileged to pass those heritages onto the new generations and to the regions outside Japanese borders.
