'Douguya' means secondhand or curio shop in Japanese. Quite a humble and understated name for a shop with a unique pursuit. Douguya specialises in furntiture and goods that date from the Meiji Era (1868 -1912) up to the outbreak of WWII. Furthermore, all items that make it into their showroom and webshop are exceptional in that they were handmade by skilled craftsmen and just cannot be replicated today despite all of our modern technological advancements.
Do take a look at their website and their webshop. It is in Japanese but the pictures have universal appeal.
