Wabisabi Antiques

I had such a wonderful experience vintage shopping with Mina and Yasu from Wabisabi Antiques. I bought two fabulous (and very large) ceramic vases from this store. The shipping time was 6 days to me in the United States and the vases arrived in perfect condition and were packaged really well. Their photos and descriptions of my vases were accurate, and the pieces are indeed authentic one-of-a-kind vintage, not mass produced. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Wabisabi Antiques and would recommend them to anyone looking to bring a touch of vintage Japanese beauty to their homes, no matter where in the world you happen to live.

The hand-selected quality of the singing bowl is simply superb. The sound is deep, resonant, and transcends time and space. But at least as impressive is the cushion with its Kiku-Karakusa embroidery; it lends the ensemble a noble, luxurious touch, perfectly complemented by the elegantly shaped mallet. A premium item, typical of the entire WabiSabiAntique range – an absolute recommendation, 100 out of 10!

I cannot recommend Wabisabi Antiques highly enough. The entire process of dealing with Mina and Yasu was a pleasure from start to finish. Communication was warm, courteous, efficient and professional. They were attentive to my questions and prompt with all responses, helping me navigate the process of shipping from Japan to the US seamlessly. The pieces I bought are absolutely beautiful and were shipped incredibly fast, arriving just 5 or 6 days after I ordered them. They were expertly packaged with a minimum of plastic and arrived in perfect condition, and I paid no import duties. The best part was the innermost wrappings of the shoin - they were wrapped with the incredible care and aesthetic sensitivity for which the Japanese are so deservedly renowned and I had to sit with it untouched for several minutes in a state of quiet admiration before I could bring myself to remove it! Undoubtedly one of the most authentic and professional purveyors of Japanese antiques on the internet, you will be hard pressed to find a better source for your purchase.

What a pleasure working with Mina & Yasu. They are responsive, kind, and answered my questions. They sent a recording of the bell, so I could feel comfortable making a purchasing decision. They kept me informed about the shipping conditions and the bell arrived promptly, with a week of purchase. In addition, they took great care in packaging each piece. I was so happy to receive and invite the bell. The sound is lovely and as advertised.

A beautiful little bell, wrapped and packed with extreme care and precision to arrive in flawless condition! Origato gozaimasu!

Mina and Yasu curate a beautiful collection in their shop. My antique was exactly as photographed and described. It arrived quickly to me in the United States packaged incredibly secure with no damage. This was my second purchase from Wabisabi Antiques, and probably not my last. If you are thinking about getting something from this shop, get it!

Excellent curation, great shop!

I just received a Lovely Japanese Bizen Ware Tokkuri from Wabi Sabi Antiques in Japan. It arrived by DSL and the entire transaction went smoothly. I can hardly believe that it was delivered today, because I just ordered it a few days ago. Predictably, it was EXPERTLY wrapped and protected from any possible issues or concerns which might arise during shipping. Credit to DSL for their shipping practices, but mostly credit to Mina and Yasu for the wonderful business they operate bringing Japanese Culture and Practices to the World! I Highly Recommend Wabi Sabi Antiques for their excellent curation of well selected items and for the care and attention they have personally expressed to me in each and every transaction. by the owners. Thank You Mina and Yasu!

I recently received my first order of two beautiful items from Wabisabi Antiques. I have to say that my first impressions are Outstanding in every respect. Beginning with the way the items were wrapped, I immediately saw and felt a connection to the hands of the kind people who carefully prepared my two items for shipment. By FAR the very best and most expressive job of wrapping with a sense of Love and Kindness that I have ever seen. The items were shipped and received quickly, much more quickly than I had expected. And my communications through email with Mina and Yasu were perfect in every respect. I am deeply impressed and touched by the entire experience. They helped me very step of the way. Based upon this experience, I can say that I Highly Recommend Wabisabi Antiques to meet the needs of anyone with an interest in learning about or purchasing high quality Japanese Antiques.
