Discover the timeless beauty of Japanese vintage.

About Byakko

Celebrating the allure of traditional Japanese design, Byakko is a vintage Japanese furniture and clothing store operating online from Tokyo, Japan. 

Immersed in traditional Japanese culture and captivated by design from a young age, our founder Yaeno launched Byakko after realising stunning Japanese antiques and apparel were at risk of being lost to time. 

After expanding her horizons while living in the UK and Vietnam, it was a momentous encounter with a vintage furniture shop back home in Japan that sparked the desire to share traditional designs worldwide. 

Experiencing immense pride in the beauty on display throughout the shop, Yaeno quickly got to work, crafting an online marketplace.

The goal? To make it easy for international buyers to acquire stunning, authentic Japanese furniture and kimonos while also tackling the habit Japanese owners have of discarding or forgetting their old treasures.

Carefully curated, Byakko’s selections reflect the essence of Japanese culture and the local matsuri festivals that Yaeno loves attending. All our items are authentic, vintage and shipped from Japan. 

 

We welcome you to browse our curation and contact us if you have any questions.

 

 

Our Mission

Byakko was founded upon a blend of passion and concern for traditional Japanese culture. 

While today’s society demands relentless fast fashion, we recognised the shocking waste in discarding traditional Japanese treasures that have been meticulously preserved for decades or even centuries.

Deciding it was no longer justifiable for these incredible and valuable designs to be forgotten, our mission is to share older items that celebrate Japanese tradition with an international audience. 

These remarkable designs yearn to be appreciated by a larger audience, but the hurdles are often too great for Japanese sellers.

Our work sees us break those barriers, bringing eye-catching and meaningful Japanese furniture and apparel to a worldwide audience.
