Market Finds

We love wandering through the antique markets of Kanazawa, searching for pieces that spark curiosity and instantly catch our eye. Every visit brings something new to discover, from quiet everyday objects to rare finds full of character and history.

Through crisp winter mornings and long, hot summer days, we explored the markets of Ishikawa in search of special pieces to share. This year, we uncovered a beautiful mix of antique matcha bowls, woven baskets, kitchenware, and the occasional quirky treasure—each one chosen for its charm, craftsmanship, and story.
