LOOKING GOOD
In store


Antique Andante
If you weren' looking for Antique Andante, it's highly unlikely that you'd come across this tiny antique shop on your own. Hidden down an alley of Takeshita dori, Antique Andante is totally inconspicuous. Except for the collection of porcelain vases outside the door, and perhaps a kimono hanging from the door, you might miss it. Antique Andante makes no bones about it's identity as an antique shop. Old jazz hits play softly in the background, and everything from the most minuscule cordial cup to chests is marked with dates as well as prices. An eclectic collection of antiquated items hang from the walls, line the shelves and sit on a large wooden table that takes up most of the shop's floor space. A cornucopia of yukata from the early 1900s, antique beaded bags, baskets, kimono, sake sets, art deco cordial glasses and even old horseshoes should provide plenty to hunt through.

Dancing Heart
Ethereal music fills the air of Dancing Heart providing the angelic inhabitants of the store with a suitably heavenly atmosphere. From the cherubic Crowford porcelain liquid soap dispenser (JY3800) to an embroidered angel CD case (JY4800), everything in sight is adorned with cuteness. A whole shelf of flower fairy dolls (JY5800) keeps watch over the large selection of jewelry that includes small cherub necklaces (JY5800) as well as a chunkier more down to earth items. Perhaps the most prized purchase might turn out to be the large feather angel wings modeled by the display mannequin. Don't worry, at JY48,000 a pair they probably won't fly out of the store.
