Galerie Dentsdelion - Japanese Antiques

Super nice store with the most wonderful collection of different ceramics and antique Japanese items.

The owner is very informative and gentle and speaks bort Japanese and English fluently.

Highly recommend

Incredible store that resembles as much museum as it does shop except the things here are actually for sale. I came specifically for prints and wasn’t disappointed, I was greeted warmly and with the professionalism one would hope from any long term proprietor. Thank you for making our memories of Japan that much stronger.

THE BEST antique store I have visited!!! It’s a very quaint shop with all high quality items on two floors. There are a few contemporary items in the shop, but even those are of high quality and inevitably collectible. I only met the wife (husband was traveling) and she was so pleasant!! Japanese, English and French are spoken here. If you love antiques, DO NOT MISS!!!

A wonderful shop for Japanese antiques. Yvan the owner was very welcoming and helped us find what we were looking for. We went to get a mask as a souvenir but lots of pieces caught our eye. Highly recommended

A large selection of ceramic and other antiques, thoughtful customer service, great English conversation.

A wonderful little shop with a thoughtfully curated selection of Japanese antiques. The shop owner is very friendly and it was a pleasure to speak with her. The bronze crab I purchased sits proudly in my collection back home in Canada. Highly recommended!

We went a few weeks ago and were not disappointed—a unique antique store with such detailed pieces. We bought three paintings and were incredibly satisfied with our purchases. The owners are very helpful and kind as well!

This gallery is just a wonderful place to dive into japanese antiques. Just visiting the beautiful shop, filled with hand selected items of old is a pleasure. The owners are very friendly, helpful and were happy to explain the background stories of many items to us. It was quite hard to decide what to buy from the vast inventory and we will surely come back again soon. Wholeheartedly recommend this store to everyone who is interested in japanese antiques.

If you fancy antiques you must check out Dentsdelion. There are beautiful items for every budget.

The shop owners are extremely knowledgeable about the items in their shop and are happy to inform you.

Super impressed. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic, owners were very kind and helpful in finding what we were looking for. We found some beautiful kintsugi dishes. Lots of incredible antique things here, absolutely worth a visit!

Amazing shop not far from Akihabara. We went looking for some unique antiques like figures, ceramics, woodblock prints and masks. This store has it all and so much more to be explored! The owners are fantastic and knowledgeable about all the pieces. You must come here if you want something special from your trip to Tokyo. Highly recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is a true Aladdin's cave! Don't just visit the ground floor - even if it has beautiful potteries and chinaware as well as framed paintings - but climb up the narrow wooden stairs and you 'll be surprised by the vast variety of antique artpieces, ranging from tiniest to big Buddhist statues, japanese chiesto, bronzes, rugs et al.
It truly deserves a long visit. You will be amazed by the big quantity and quality of items in a small, most charming place.

For me the best antiques store in Tokyo. A visit at Dentsdelion is like visiting a museum on Japanese art and culture, having the whole museum for yourself and learning about each piece, its history and making from the head of the museum in a 1:1 guided tour. Whatever you want to know, the proprietor Yvan will be able to answer your questions.
Despite of the experience itself, I bought two very nice and precious pieces that will accompany me for the rest of my life.

I went there the first time to look for a birthday present for a friend. I honestly had some apprehension regarding the price of authentic Japanese antics but the owners kindly guided me to a set of signed sake cups in the original wooden box for a very reasonable price. I went back later on for additional presents, the shop has a wide range of wonderful items and warm and knowledgeable owners will patiently guide you and explain the background of various antics. Definitely going back later to add authentic Japanese atmosphere to my apartment.

Beautiful little shop full of treasures owned by a lovely couple. If you are around you should definitely stop by!!

An excellent and diverse selection of high quality antiques etc. at eminently fair prices. Beautifully displayed. Owner Yvan is worth the trip alone for his warm manner, substantive knowledge and wonderful stories. I made several purchases of unique objects - but could have stayed there for hours more.

Amazing antique store in Tokyo, probably the most interesting in small objects such as bronze, bouddhas, statuette, etc as well as pieces of furniture, ceramics Imari... . And the owner knows the story of each piece ant put it into its historic context. Great store! Thanks
( I founded a beautiful engraved singing bowl!)

Awesome antique shop! The shop has beautiful and unique pieces. The owners were so kind and helpful!

I first visited Dentsdelion in 2013, when we were living in Tokyo. Since then I keep coming back, also after our return to the Netherlands. The shop is a treasure trove, if you are interested in Japanese art and antiques. Besides, the owner, Yvan, is a connoisseur of Imari porcelain. What is also important, he and his wife are a very nice couple. With their help we have built up a small collection of Japanese antiques and artefacts, from tansu (chest) to Imari porcelain, from bronze statues to lacquerware, like suzuribako (writing box) or inro (small medicine box), from kakejiku (hanging scroll) to gurasu-e (reverse glass painting), and from koro (incense burner) to kago (bamboo basket). But they have even more! A visit to the website offers each time new artefacts.
Warmly recommended!

A little gem of a shop tucked away between akihabara and Ueno, featuring a collection of fine Japanese antiques carefully curated by Yvan Trousselle and his wife. Prices are amazingly very reasonable. It specialises in prints and paintings, Japanese screens, lacquerware, porcelain and carved wooden figures.
