Takenokodo

A curio and antique shop located an 11 minute walk from Tawaramachi Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. The stately shop, built with reused wood, stands along the Kappabashi Kitchenware Town near Tokyo's downtown Asakusa area. The owner has over 20 years of experience buying and selling antiques, and here you'll find curios, antique art, paintings, calligraphic works, wall scrolls, Chinese art, tea implements, precious stones and metals, and more. A wide selection of curios and antiques are displayed on the shop's sales floor for shoppers to peruse. Particularly stunning is the shop's abundant array of iron kettles from the late Edo, Meiji, and Taisho periods. The shop also has a tea room visitors can view.
