Seller's Story

I am a Japanese seller based in Yamaguchi, specializing in traditional Japanese crafts, antiques, and decorative art. I personally source items from old Japanese warehouses, local antique markets, and private collections. All items are carefully photographed and described to show their true condition. I enjoy sharing authentic Japanese culture with collectors around the world.
