Announcement
Welcome!
I am a French designer and design instructor based in Kyoto.
My first expertise field is textiles, but since I moved to Japan 10 years ago I had the chance of discovering a lot of traditional crafts and learning about them. I would like to share some vintage treasures so you can also enjoy them wherever you are. I selected each piece for its uniqueness, its timeless beauty and the quality of its craft. You will see that I have a special taste for antique silks and lacquerware and I source these treasures all around Japan.
If you have any questions about an item or if you are looking for something very specific, please get in touch, I might have more pieces than those displayed here.
You can also discover my original work (bags made of antique Japanese materials) at www.mikanbags.com

5 out of 5 starsThe clutch came very beautifully packed with a very elegantly written letter. The clutch is an extremely beautiful piece although if the button can be magnetic, it would be perfect.

5 out of 5 starsI love this fukusa basami, the colors are bright & it's in excellent condition. The sensu fan, yoji pick (and it's sleeve) and kobukusa are also in excellent shape. There were also a few pieces of kashi paper tucked inside when it arrived. Seller was very communicative & prompt to ship.
