Welcome to our antique section. Many of the items here have been passed down through our family, other items have been collected by myself through the years. The items you see are not for sale, if you are interested in purchasing any item you'll have to wait until I'm dead and then you can talk to my son. Well, if you do see something you just "have to have" let me know, if it's not a family heirloom I may consider it.
These photos are provided for your enjoyment. Collecting and learning about Japanese culture has brought me joy and I hope you enjoy the photos.
I would like to give a special thanks to Yuta Sakai Sama of Iga, Ueno who has provided valuable information and contacts for the Hirase website. His experience and knowledge of antiques and Japanese history has been an invaluable asset! Domo arigato gozaimasu!
