A man running an antique shop in the back alleys of Kyoto.
About
Sakakibara Antiques
A small shop dealing in antiques and curios, standing quietly at the end of an old Kyoto alley.
It carries a variety of items across different eras and origins, such as tea utensils, old ceramics, rare books, hanging scrolls, lacquerware, and hairpins. The items lined up in the shop might look cluttered at first glance, but they say every piece has been hand-picked by the owner's unique aesthetic eye.
There are no fixed business hours; if the noren curtain is out, it's open.
While it has an atmosphere that's a bit difficult for first-time visitors to enter, if you ask about an item, he will explain its history and care with surprising thoroughness.
However, many items have no price tags, and some are simply declared "not for sale."
In the back of the shop, there is a storehouse not open to the public, which reportedly houses even rarer treasures.
