A marvelous Old School Japanese Antique shop with a friendly, chatty, knowledgeable owner (Lisa) who runs it now that the former co-owner and her mother, Yoko, has passed away. Yelp has this biz erroneously listed as "Closed." Lisa asked me to ask Yelp to correct this error (she is not computer savvy). She wears a mask and keeps social distance while telling lively, entertaining stories and overseeing the mass of jewelry, vintage kimono fabrics, Japanese books & DVDS, miniature dolls, and gorgeous carved pieces (like the intricate box of drawers that I watched a customer purchase). Prices run from a couple dollars on up. I bought a couple lovely pins for $8 each. (See photo) And plan to return to buy more of these one-of-a-kind treasures. Twenty-five years ago, I commissioned Yoko to make me a "noren" (Japaese door curtains). She let me pick the fabric, and made it for me. It was on the recommendation of Amy at Ai Restaurant, who had several beautiful noren by Yoko. Now, more than ever, this lovely shop could use some attention. Here's my contribution and prayer that yelp show that it is STILL OPEN!

I love this lIl store full of treasures. I got a few antique spoons for my kitchen and a lil rabbit pendant. The lady who works there was really friendly. If you want any Japanese robes, she had some really good ones.

Yoko Antiques is something of a hidden gem. I wandered by one afternoon while headed to the Gold Line station. I hadn't noticed the store before but as I passed by the open door, I caught a snippet of a conversation in Japanese. Intrigued, I stopped and went in. I heard about about the owner's life story from her daughter, who is running the shop for her now. I looked around, saw interesting fabrics and objects of art, and then introduced myself. We chatted, I took some photos of merchandise and posted them to a FB group I belong to with an interest in Japanese culture and got a lot of feedback from folks interested in purchasing items, particular the fabrics. The proprietor really has some nice finds to share, though she could benefit from perhaps selling online (since my FB group also included out of state folks who wanted to make orders...though I guess there's always the phone).
