Iron Tree-of-Life Five-Light Candelabrum

A vintage Japanese five-light candelabrum shaped as a tree of life growing upward. From a sturdy central trunk, branches of varying heights extend to left and right, punctuated with leaf-shaped iron pieces, and ultimately support five round candle pans, transforming the living imagery of a plant into a sculptural piece of ironwork. At nearly 50 cm tall, it is not an ordinary small table candlestick and has a distinct presence once displayed. Seen from the front, the central trunk forms a stable vertical axis, while the five candle holders spread out to either side at different heights, creating a balanced outline like a tree canopy. The iron surface lacks the uniform, smooth finish of modern metalware; instead it retains deep black-brown tones, areas of oxidation and natural changes left by time. The outlines of the branches and leaves also have the irregularity peculiar to handmade work, giving the whole piece the rugged, plain and quiet character of a vintage Japanese object (kodōgu).

WOODWARE-KS Wooden Two-Drawer Small Chest

A vintage Japanese small wooden chest with two drawers, a compact, square case with upper and lower drawers. Free of excessive ornament, it relies on deep wood tones, raised frame mouldings and old-style metal pulls to convey the plain character typical of old Japanese furniture. The front is especially attractive: both drawers have recessed panel fronts framed in dark wood for depth, with a reddish-brown wood tone in the centre, and weathered curved metal handles that add a touch of antique detail to the sober whole. It measures approximately 20 × 21 × 22 cm, a very versatile piece of tabletop furniture. Unlike large antique Japanese furniture that needs dedicated space, a small chest like this can sit directly on a desk, tea table, entryway cabinet, bedside, display shelf or work table.

Ceramic Guardian General Holding a Pagoda and Trident Halberd, Folk-Craft Pottery Ornament (Kodōgu)

A vintage Japanese ceramic figure of a divine general holding a pagoda in one hand and a trident halberd on the other side. It transforms the attributes and guardian-general imagery common to traditional religious figures into a ceramic work full of Japanese folk-craft charm. What catches the eye first is its endearing proportions. Rather than the tall, solemn posture typical of traditional Buddhist statuary, the body is modelled in a full, rounded outline; the head is slightly bowed, and the heavy brows and gaze carry a certain sternness, yet the exaggerated figure and hand modelling create a contrast of dignity tempered by good-natured charm, and of rustic simplicity touched with humour.

Cast-Iron Rooster Ornament with Aged Polychrome Finish, Folk-Craft Ironware (Kodōgu)

A vintage Japanese iron rooster ornament depicting a cockerel standing proudly with head raised. Through its thick metal and three-dimensional casting, the comb, wings, breast and belly, and the long tail feathers sweeping upward are each carefully rendered. What is most appealing about the piece is that it lacks the even, bright surface of modern metal ornaments; instead it shows richly layered tones of deep brown, dark green, blue-green and touches of vermilion. The comb and wattles in particular retain a warm red that contrasts vividly with the sombre dark tones of the body, while the wings and tail show antique greenish hues, giving the whole piece the character of an old object that only comes with the passing of time.

Antique Money Box, Japan

This Edo-period Japanese money box is an antique of considerable historical value and practical function. In old Japan, such boxes were containers for storing coins and valuables; sturdy and durable, they were usually made of heavy timber with metal fittings to keep the contents safe. The design of this box is plain and unadorned, and its surface retains the marks of history, showing the patina of age and a rustic beauty. (An old piece with signs of age; there is also a Mount Fuji design on the back)

Price NT$ 5,000≈ US$ 150

Goryeo-Style Celadon by Hōkaku (With Tomobako)

This Goryeo celadon made by Hōkaku is a fine antique that combines traditional Korean ceramic craft with artistic beauty. Celadon is known for its blue-green glaze and delicate designs; this piece not only preserves the distinctive craft of Goryeo-dynasty celadon but also incorporates a crane motif symbolising longevity and good fortune, giving it high artistic and collecting value.

Price NT$ 2,800≈ US$ 85

Wooden Shop Sign for Grey-Hair Dye (Edo Period, Japan)

This wooden shop sign for grey-hair dye dates from the Edo period in Japan; a historical artefact of considerable collecting value, it expresses the distinctive beauty of the commercial culture and craft of its time. Made of wood and weathered by the years, it bears the marks of history and has a strongly rustic character.

Price NT$ 12,000≈ US$ 365

Nanbu Cast-Iron Kettle with Mist Pattern, Japan

This Japanese Nanbu cast-iron kettle has a distinctive hand-worked mist pattern, full of the refinement and quiet strength of traditional Japanese craft. Its substance and weight keep it stable in daily use and provide excellent heat retention. The cast-iron kettle is an indispensable utensil in the Japanese tea ceremony and one of the antiques most coveted by collectors. There is rust inside, which the buyer will need to treat; this adds to its sense of history and collecting value.

Price NT$ 8,800≈ US$ 270

Shōwa-period Ship's Lamp, Japan

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.

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.
