Encountering an antique object is akin to falling in love at first sight! Each meeting with an antique is an unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you miss the opportunity, you may never see it again; however, if fate wills it, your paths might cross once more!
There is an undeniable sense of excitement and thrill. So please cherish the antique items that make your heart flutter.
Japanese antiques encompass a wide range of items. Common examples include pottery, tea ceremony utensils, furniture, Buddhist altar equipment, and art objects such as hanging scrolls (‘kekejiku’ / 掛け軸) and woodblock prints. Antique weapons, particularly samurai swords and armor, are also prized by collectors.
Japanese antiques are often selected for their unique atmosphere and cultural appeal. We are creating this guide in the hope that our customers can find more about Japanese antiques, such as the background, history, and design features, to enjoy both the shopping and ownership experiences.
