We specialize in Japanese furniture (tansu), and carry a wide selection of antique folk crafts, lacquerware, textiles, dolls, ceramics, screens, scrolls, and basketry. As one of America's largest direct importers of antiques from Japan. Kiku Imports offers an impressive selection of beautiful items at very reasonable prices.

All of our tansu are unique. Most were made between 1870 and 1930. Each tansu is carefully and thoroughly restored. Our workshop in San Francisco employs twelve craftsmen who bring the beauty and functionality of antique tansu back to life.

Our extensive selection can accommodate a wide range of budgets. While we do carry exquisite museum quality items, many of our tansu are surprisingly affordable.
