Welcome to ShowaFinds.
I search across Japan for pieces from the Showa era (1926–1989) — the kokeshi, folk crafts, and everyday objects that carry the warmth, colors, and quiet craftsmanship of a Japan that is slowly disappearing.
Each item is chosen by hand. I look for pieces with character and honest age, check them carefully, and describe their condition as truthfully as I can — because I want you to know exactly what you're receiving. Everything is packed with care to travel safely across the world to you.
Kokeshi hold a special place here. These simple wooden dolls, turned and painted by hand, have been loved in Japan for generations. Bringing them to new homes around the world — where they can be displayed, collected, and enjoyed — is the heart of what I do.
Thank you for stopping by. If you have any questions about an item, please feel free to send a message. I'm always happy to help.
