An antique doll from Japan (antique doll, antikku dōru), with a porcelain face and glass eyes that give it a lifelike expression, as if it could communicate with you. The doll is slender and richly dressed, strongly evoking the European Victorian era. It is finely made, using high-quality fabrics and delicate sewing, reflecting the value of an antique doll.
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)
This early Japanese sake advertising poster shows the classic aesthetic of the Shōwa period; the woman depicted, in a soft and graceful pose, symbolises the union of traditional and modern beauty. The poster was produced to promote the Kizakura sake brand of the time, reflecting the brand's quality image and the cultural value of its products. Whether as a collector's piece or a vintage decoration, it is a work with a strong sense of its era and real aesthetic value.
This wooden lunch box crate dates from the Shōwa period in Japan (1926–1989); it is practical and also has a rich historical background. The Shōwa period was a time of major social and economic change in Japan, and crates of this kind were common, practical objects of daily life, reflecting the society of the period. It is both a usable collector's piece and a decorative object that carries a story from history. (Shows signs of use and age)
These early vintage Japanese milk cans date from the Shōwa period and were probably widely used on farms or for transporting milk. Milk cans were an indispensable part of farming and daily life, and these reflect the scenes and way of life of Japan's agricultural society at the time. Owing to their age, the cans show clear rust; the base of one has rusted through, and the lids of both cans cannot be opened because of rust. They suit antique collectors, lovers of vintage style and those who enjoy industrial design. Whether for decoration, collecting or as a set-dressing piece, they bring a strong sense of history and culture to a space. (Only one remaining; its base has rusted through)
This public telephone is a classic Shōwa-era design, simple and practical in form, its yellow-and-black colour scheme evoking nostalgia. Made of durable metal and plastic, it features the contrasting yellow and black design characteristic of the Shōwa period.
This Japanese carved wood Daruma is a work of art that brings together culture, craftsmanship and aesthetics. Whether as a home ornament, a decoration for business premises, a treasured collector's piece or a gift, it displays a distinctive charm and deep cultural meaning. It is not only a work of art but also a good-luck charm full of blessings and encouragement.
Porcelain bowls in the Old Kutani style, with very finely executed underglaze painting. The bowls are painted with traditional landscapes and pavilions, the brushwork lively and the colors richly layered, incorporating the classic blue, green, red and yellow of Kutani's five-color palette. The exterior is framed with a continuous geometric border, and the center of the interior is painted with a classical auspicious motif, adding layers of detail and cultural meaning. The base shows a vermilion “九谷” (Kutani) mark, the traditional mark of the Kutani line. The forms are regular and well preserved, the porcelain solid and the painting intact; though old, they are very suitable for both use and appreciation. (The three can be sold individually at NT$ 800 each; if you would like to buy one on its own, please contact us or leave a message.)
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.
