Shōwa-period Handmade Keyaki (Zelkova) Wood Hibachi, Japan

A handmade Shōwa-period hibachi of keyaki (zelkova) wood, sitting round and steady on the table like an old stump polished smooth by time. The surface shows fine, clearly defined keyaki grain, and the dark brown ground takes on a soft, oily sheen in the light — clearly not a new reproduction but a genuinely old piece used over the years. The metal liner inside retains traces of use, with oxidation and green patina in places, evidence that it once served as a real hibachi, holding charcoal for warmth. These traces of history contrast interestingly with the comparatively well-kept wooden exterior, and give the piece an added sense of everyday life — of having been used, rather than being a prop that only ever sat in a display case.

Small Japanese-Style Paulownia Wood Hibachi

A small paulownia wood hibachi with a strong Japanese feel — modest in size but rewarding to look at. Made of Japanese paulownia, it has soft grain and is light to hold, yet still carries the particular warmth of solid wood. With time, the surface has taken on a subdued, slightly lustrous brown tone, and the edges and corners show light wear, giving the calm atmosphere found only in old pieces. The outer wall is painted in gold with chrysanthemums, their petals opening layer upon layer and their branches and leaves interlacing; the lines are fine, with some of the imperfections of hand painting that echo the Japanese aesthetic of objects that are useful but unaffected. The gold chrysanthemums stand out against the dark brown wood: from a distance they read as a quiet ring of flower shadows, while up close the detail of each petal can be enjoyed.

Japanese-Style Bamboo-Basket-Form Flower Vase

This Japanese-style vase imitates traditional bamboo basket weaving in metal wire. Its outline is round and swelling like a gourd: the lines narrow upward from the base, flare out again and finally tighten at the mouth, enclosing a curved space full of tension. The whole vase is gilded and gives off a warm gold-bronze sheen in the light, crisp as metal yet slightly antique in feel. The fine wires are set one by one with gaps between them, so the vase itself reads like an open sculpture; light passes through the gaps and casts soft linear shadows on the table, giving it a strong presence even on its own without flowers.

Kutani Ware Kyūsu Teapot, Japan

This Kutani ware kyūsu teapot is in the classic aka-e and gilt style. Over a soft, warm off-white glaze, the body and lid carry large red compositions, with details picked out in gold, giving a noble, opulent look that still keeps its Japanese character. The lid is covered with floral patterns: fine lines extend from the edges of the red petals and spread outward like fireworks, and the flower centers are outlined in gold so the design glints softly in the light. The sides of the body show a rhythm of flower clusters and patterns, with figures and plants added in places. The palette is mainly red and gold against the off-white crackled glaze, creating the dense yet orderly decoration characteristic of Kutani ware.

Large Hand-Painted Vase with Auspicious Birds and Peonies, Japan

An imposing large hand-painted Japanese vase, about 60.5 cm tall — close to knee height — it creates a strong focal point whether set on the floor or on a low cabinet. The body flares gently outward from a slightly narrow neck and then draws in again at the foot; the proportions are tall and slender, the effect steady and elegant. The whole vase is grounded in rich golden yellow, and on close inspection a fine, continuous pattern lies beneath, like a layer of small cloud scrolls or karakusa arabesques, so the large expanse of gold still has depth. Over this, auspicious birds and peonies are painted by hand. Though the colors are saturated, a balance is struck between gold, ink black and green, producing a rich beauty with an Oriental flavor — well suited to serve as the centerpiece of a room.

Ceramic Gourd Incense Holder, Japan

A small Japanese ceramic gourd-shaped incense holder, glazed all over in a soft milky white with a mellow, gentle sheen. Its form is flat and rounded, gently narrowing at the waist along the gourd's curve; resting on a table, it looks like a small gourd seed lying quietly. The body is decorated in green glaze with twining gourd vines and a tied ribbon, the brushwork showing the varied thickness of hand painting and adding a touch of playful charm. A small hole in the centre holds a stick of incense; another small hole at the top of the gourd allows a cord to be threaded for hanging, or can be put to other uses as you like. When incense is lit, the smoke rises slowly beside the gourd; together with the mellow ceramic surface and a wooden table, it creates a quiet little corner with a touch of Japanese elegance.

Mid-Shōwa Cast Bronze “Red-Haired Child” Figure, Japan

This “Red-Haired Child” figure from the mid-Shōwa period in Japan is cast in bronze and then hand-painted with coloured lacquer. It is not especially large, yet has a very marked presence. The child sits cross-legged on the ground, body leaning slightly forward, hands folded on the knees, as if quietly listening to someone speak. The facial lines are round and soft, the gaze calm, and a faint hint of a smile plays at the corners of the mouth; the overall expression feels gentle, serene and slightly childlike. Most eye-catching is the long, vivid red hair falling from the crown to the shoulders and back; the strands are rendered with incised lines layered with coloured lacquer, showing fine, three-dimensional ridges one after another. Over time the red paint has naturally flaked and changed colour in places, so the hair is no longer a single bright red but carries uneven, aged tones — which give it all the more of the particular character of an old piece.

Handmade Carved Wood Owl, Japan

A handmade Japanese carved wooden owl ornament, carved from solid wood, its surface retaining clear knife marks and layers of wood grain. The owl's face is sculpted in three dimensions, and the carving of the eyes and feathers has the warmth peculiar to handmade work rather than the smoothness of factory mass reproduction. The base takes the form of a natural tree trunk or root, making the piece stand more steadily and giving the whole a more “natural, wabi-sabi” character.

Carved Wood Tengu Mask, Japan

This is a carved wooden tengu mask with a strong Japanese folk character. In traditional Japanese belief and folklore, the tengu (てんぐ) is often regarded as a symbol of guardianship of the mountains and forests, of ascetic practice and of warding off evil, and often appears in festivals, shrine-related culture, traditional theatre and folk-craft ornaments. Carved from solid wood, this mask has a full, substantial volume, with natural traces of use and a colour deepened by time. The facial lines and forehead decoration are three-dimensional and the nose protrudes — the most representative identifying feature of a tengu mask; the eyes are cut through, so it can be used for display, decoration or as a photography prop. With its strong presence, it is well suited as a key visual collection piece in a space.

1952 Kobe Vintage STERLING SILVER Engraved Jewelry Cabinet

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.
