Galerie Dentsdelion - Japanese Antiques

Amazing selection from individual sake cups to large serving bowls as well as other statues and figurines. The owners are very helpful and can help you find something within your budget and for whatever occasion you are looking for! One of the owners speaks fluent English and is very easy to talk to. They are very knowledgeable about the history of the items they are selling. The prices are very reasonable, they are not trying to price gouge in any way. No matter what you are looking for, or what your budget is, you can find it here.

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.

A great place, where you can find unique things for every budget and every taste. Beautiful collection! Also perfekt for English speakers - had a great conversation about Japanese culture and Art in general with one of the owners. It was really a pleasure to spent some time there. Definitely worth a visit!

Galerie Dentsdelion was one of the first places I wished to visit when I was planning my trip to Japan. On my second day in Tokyo, I immediately made my way to the galerie, where I found out that they were closed. After emailing them, I promptly received one back, and I made sure to visit them at the end of the month. And I just did! This galerie has something for everyone, and it was truly a delight looking through their exquisite ceramics, netsuke, prints and lacquerware. After one month of traveling Japan and visiting countless antique shops, I left this galerie astounded by their kindness and willingness to show me endless amounts of woodblock prints or newly arrived Netsuke. In my opinion, the best galleries often have owners who seem to just love to talk about their job and what they sell. Thus, the “shopping experience” turns into an experience where one not only walks away more knowledgeable about things you’d never thought about before, but you also walk away inspired and excited. This galerie fits that description perfectly. This spot is truly one of the gems of Tokyo. If you wish to bring back something beautiful after a trip to Japan, please give them a visit! Many thanks for the beautiful little vase and the print by Tomokazu!

I had the most unpleasant experience here. My husband and I wanted to buy something special and decided to go to this store based on the good reviews and nice collection of Japanese antiques. Upon entering, we were not welcomed. While looking around, the owner kept sitting in his chair at the back of the store, staring at his phone, without giving us a glance. We got a bad feeling about it and decided to leave the store. Buying something precious should be a pleasant experience. As a Tokyo resident, it amazes me that you can run a store with this negative attitude.

Amazing antiques place, with a lot of options of ceramics, paintings, sculptures! The owner was very kind and I bought three marvelous Japanese paintings. Highly recommend.

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

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!!!
