Antique Shop, Tokyo Hotarudo

Tokyo Hotarudo is an antique shop quietly blooming in the back street of Asakusa, Japan where you can experience a real atmosphere of Taisho era (1912-1926)

Tokyo Hotarudo, when modern culture flooded into Japan from Western countries and formed a culture which is extremely unique and beautiful.

Their aim is to harmonize generations. Sometimes they combine modern technologies with antiques. Sometimes we combine modern technologies with antiques.

What I care most is that their selection must not be the past nor ultra-modern but something special, which inspires them, even helps us to develop our personality.

In the present age where the identity is lost, I am not only for a nostalgia but also a future. Image Credit: 東京蛍堂 tokyo hotarudo

It's a magical place with a very unique selection of vintage Japanese items and clothing from 1920s and 1930s, which are hard to find. Usually vintage in Tokyo is Western items from mid 20th century. The owners are very kind and lovely people with great taste!
