Kintsugi by Blue Parrot
Giving New Life to Antiques
At Blue Parrot, we work with Kintsugi artist Madoka, who is renowned for her expertise in the traditional Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold. Rather than hiding cracks and chips, she restores each piece in a way that celebrates its history - transforming hundreds of broken items into stunning, functional works of art.
Using natural materials instead of synthetic adhesives, Madoka honors the original beauty of each piece while bringing out something entirely new and unique.
Blue Parrot's entrance opens generously onto Marutamachi Street, offering a warm welcome to everyone who passes by.
Our seasonal displays are thoughtfully curated to catch the eye - not just of antique lovers, but also of those who might never have considered antiques before.
Through our storefront, we quietly share a message:
Even the old or humble can spark joy - with just a touch of creativity.
A Journey Through Timeworn Treasures
As you make your way up to the second floor, you'll pass antique doorknobs and wall mirrors lining the stairs.
At the top, you'll discover a charmingly eclectic mix of European furniture, Imari porcelain, and glowing lacquerware - thoughtfully arranged in cozy, artful disarray.
Our tableware collection spans from the late Edo period to the early Showa era, with a wide range of prices to suit different tastes and needs.
Whether you're looking for something special or something for everyday use, each piece can be seamlessly woven into your daily life.
Feel free to take your time and hold each item in your hands as you explore.
Loved Across Generations
On the third floor, you'll find a rich collection of Japanese furniture and everyday items from the Taisho to early Showa periods - alongside quirky old tools that might leave you wondering, "What could this have been used for?"
Each piece is not only practical but also makes a charming accent or display item for your home.
With many affordable options perfect for daily use, we welcome visitors of all ages - from students to seniors.
