A antiques is pleased to present Botanical Motifs and Everyday Objects at TOTODO in Shibuya.
Centering on the Edo period, the exhibition brings together blue-and-white and enameled ceramics painted with plants and flowers, baskets woven from bamboo and bark, and other objects made for daily use.
The motifs drawn in delicate lines, and the shadows cast by the woven strands, remain vivid even after the passage of time.
We hope you will enjoy the presence of plants dwelling within these everyday objects.
Also on view are baskets for arranging flowers, and small plates and sake cups to accompany the table.
All works in the exhibition are available for purchase. Purchases may also be made via Instagram DM. Please note that in-store sales will be given priority.
5 minutes on foot from the New South Gate of JR Shibuya Station.
From the New South Gate, turn right and then left, and proceed through Sakura Stage toward Hyatt House.
Take the escalator down at Hyatt House, directly connected to Sakura Stage.

A antiques is pleased to present Primal Forms at Totodo in Shibuya.
The exhibition brings together haniwa figures, earthenware vessels, a large Dogon ladder, old Indian textiles, and other works that embody elemental strength, uncontrived openness, and a beauty nurtured by nature.
In the gentle expressions of the haniwa, and in the lines traced through space by ladders and vessels, one senses a calm warmth reminiscent of spring sunlight.
Also on view are pieces that may be enjoyed as flower vessels, as well as small wares for everyday use. I would be delighted if you could discover the quiet, unadorned charm of each work.

We are pleased to present a showcase of European folk art - primarily from France, England, and Spain.
From the generous charm of rustic tools from France and England,
to the quiet simplicity of objects once used in monasteries,
to modern-era plates and teaware - each piece carries its own quiet allure.
The Spanish items reflect a rich blending of Christian and Islamic influences.
Their colors, forms, and free-spirited brushwork evoke the warmth and richness of their homeland.
Each object has been selected with awareness and care.
I invite you to take your time and discover what speaks to you.

We are pleased to present Vietnam: A Folk Art Showcase, curated by A antiques.
This exhibition brings together Vietnamese folk art and antique textiles from China and Japan.
The selected pieces reflect the passage of time and layers of cultural resonance - ranging from elegantly formed vessels recovered from the sea to objects that carry the atmosphere of periods shaped by Chinese influence.
These works are not only contemplative in nature but also lend themselves to integration into everyday life. We warmly welcome your visit.
