Kirin Antiques Japanis a officially licensed Tokyo-based antiquities studio specializing in museum-quality Japanse art and ceremonial objects, curated for collectors, architects, interior designers, and cultural intitutions worldwide. We take pride in offering a diverse range of antique scrolls, antique ceramics, tea utensils and Buddhist art each with its own story and significance. Our carefully curated collection includes exceptional examples of Hagi ware, Bizen ware, Shigaraki, Raku, and other traditional ceramics that embody the refined beauty of Japanese craftsmanship. Each vase, urn, or scroll tells a story of quiet elegance, imperfection, and timeless artistry.

We specialize in helping collectors, architects, interior designers, and private clients discover rare and unique Japanese art pieces: from wabi-sabi vases, Zen-inspired sculptures, and Buddhist art, to authentic calligraphy scrolls, matcha bowls, and tea ceremony utensils.

Kirin Antiques Japan operates through curated availbility and advisory engagement. We operate on the intersection of art, space, and cultural transmission.

Our approach ensures that master-pieces are placed where they can be properly lived with and understood.​

Often paired with poetry or Zen calligraphy, sakura represents the fleeting nature of life and is closely tied to Buddhist philosophy. In tea rooms, sakura scrolls are hung during hanami season to celebrate new beginnings

Preserving Japan's Artistic Legacy

At Kirin Antiques, we act as custodians and interpreters, supporting those who wish to engage with Japanese art not as an aesthetic trend, but as a cultural and contemplative presence within a space.

Our approach is rooted in a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and artistry of traditional Japanese scroll paintings. We aim to connect art enthusiasts, collectors and interior designers with these timeless pieces, allowing them to experience the allure of Japan's cultural heritage through our carefully curated selection.
