When we set out collecting antiques we were on a mission to find as many odd animals and figures as we could find. Nothing quite brings joy like a quirky trinket to pop in your home.

Story

We spent months trawling through Antique Markets and Vintage Stores all over Kyoto, Tokyo and around Japan to find a selection of unique and special pieces. Each item was hand selected and carefully packaged for a long journey to Australia. 

It truly is our favourite part of the job, to source older pieces and give them a new life, and to continue their story. While some pieces have character look aged from the passing of time others are gems that have been hidden and cared for to keep them in near new condition.

The history of Hyottoko masks started in the Iwate Prefecture in Japan, the myth states that a boy with a bizarre face was able to create gold out of his belly button, these faces have since been seen as a bringer of good luck. Pop one in your home and let the good fortune roll in.
