A Japanese kimono shop sign made of metal, with a strong Shōwa-era style.

This 'Japanese Shōwa ship's lamp' is an antique light from the Shōwa period with a strong historical and cultural atmosphere, suitable as home decoration or a collector's piece. It is made of copper, showing classic design and durability. The lamp itself is well preserved; its function has not been tested, but it remains an eye-catching object. It can be displayed indoors or outdoors to add a rustic nautical feel, pairs well with industrial or vintage interiors, and is a real conversation piece that brings history and character to your space.
This early Western tin sign is part of the advertising for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, showing the vintage advertising style of the late 19th or early 20th century. Lydia E. Pinkham's herbal formula was a very popular women's health product at the time, and the brand was well known for its distinctive marketing and advertising design.
A highly distinctive avant-garde iron sculpture from Japan's Shōwa period, inspired by the yōkai of Japanese folklore. Blending sculpture, folk-craft culture and surrealist expression, it creates a unique form full of fantasy and personal style. The frame and main body are made of iron, then hand-painted. The form deliberately breaks with realistic proportion, presenting an exaggerated and imaginative yōkai figure that reflects the Shōwa-era artist's spirit of combining folk culture with modern art. Most striking is the design of the yōkai holding a detached head; the head and body create a dramatic visual tension, giving off a strong grotesque-art style that is highly recognizable and appealing to collectors.
A small jewelry cabinet made in Kobe in 1952, crafted in STERLING SILVER. The double-door body is finely engraved with flowers and foliage, and the doors, hinges and clasps show layers of classical metalwork. Over the years the silver has naturally oxidized into varied tones and signs of use, making the delicate engraving stand out more vividly in light and shadow.
Wearing an ornate jeweled crown, draped in celestial robes and necklaces, the figure sits in the "royal ease" posture, one leg raised and the other hanging naturally, capturing the graceful, relaxed pose of Water-Moon Guanyin. The face is lowered with a calm expression, and the bronze-toned finish is naturally deep and steady — well suited to a tea room, study or quiet space.
Every piece has weathered centuries. We bring an exacting, professional approach to antique art to every handover and delivery.
We keep searching all over Japan for antiques and vintage pieces with character — ceramics, tea ceremony utensils, vases, wood carvings, furniture and Shōwa-era goods — and bring them across the sea to DASING.
Items are photographed as they are, showing color, texture, detail and actual appearance as closely as possible, so buying online comes closer to seeing them in person.
Antiques often show wear, oxidation, kiln flaws, repairs or other signs of age. We show these as fully as we can in photos and item descriptions, so you can understand each piece before deciding to buy.
