A late Edo period Musha Ningyō (warrior doll), seated in armor with a calm yet commanding presence.

The gofun-coated face, with its restrained expression, contrasts with the richly layered armor — textile, lacquer, and metal — shaped by time but still carrying the quiet strength these figures were meant to embody.

Set against a temple in Yoshii, echoing the world from which it emerged.

A Meiji period hanakago (Japanese flower basket), shaped with bold overlapping bamboo strips and aged into a deep natural patina over more than a century.

Set against a quiet temple garden in Kiyama, where stone, water, moss and early azaleas echo the spirit these baskets were made for.

A quiet smile beneath the blossoms.

This antique Japanese kokeshi doll, dating from the Taishō to early Shōwa period (c. 1910–1940), carries the warmth of hand-turned wood and the timeless charm of Japanese folk craft.

Set against the evening light near Yoshii, where torii paths and cherry trees meet the spring hills.

🇧🇪➡️🇯🇵 From Belgium to Japan — A New Chapter Begins

After passing on Schelma SCRL to its new owner in October 2024, we began a new chapter in Japan.

🛍️ Our Collection — carefully selected antiques from our own collection, with occasional special finds

🌿 Sourcing & Expertise — personal assistance to find and acquire unique Japanese pieces directly in Japan

🏯 Kyushu Experiences — private journeys through markets, antique shops, historic towns, and lesser-known places

Après avoir transmis Schelma SCRL à son nouveau propriétaire en octobre 2024, nous avons entamé un nouveau chapitre au Japon.

Alors que Schelma suit désormais sa propre voie, notre aventure autour de l’art et des objets japonais continue directement depuis le Japon. Aujourd’hui, Kizunaway propose :

🛍️ Notre Collection — une sélection soignée de pièces issues de notre propre collection, avec parfois quelques trouvailles particulières

🌿 Sourcing & Expertise — un accompagnement personnalisé pour trouver et acquérir des objets japonais uniques directement au Japon
