Discover the timeless beauty of Japanese vintage.

 

About Byakko

Byakko is an online marketplace based in Tokyo, Japan, dedicated to sharing the timeless charm of Japanese vintage furniture and apparel with the world.

Rooted in a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, authenticity, and cultural heritage, Byakko was founded with one simple belief: the things we once cherished deserve to be cherished again.

Our founder, Yaeno, grew up surrounded by traditional Japanese aesthetics and was deeply moved after rediscovering the quiet beauty of vintage Japanese furniture. Seeing many of these remarkable pieces left behind or discarded, she was inspired to build a bridge between Japan’s forgotten treasures and those who seek meaning and beauty beyond trends.

Byakko celebrates the spirit of mottainai, the Japanese value of respecting and treasuring things, by giving long-loved items a new life and a new admirer somewhere in the world. Each piece tells a story of time, care, and craftsmanship that transcends generations.

We carefully curate every item to reflect the harmony, simplicity, and understated elegance that define Japanese design. From hand-carved tansu chests to delicate kimono textiles, every piece carries the soul of Japan.

We invite you to discover the world of Byakko, where beauty lies not in what is new, but in what lasts.

Our Mission
