ChidoriVintage Japanese Collectables

09/06/2026

Some gifts are enjoyed for a day. Others become part of a lifetime.

In Japan, Father’s Day, or Chichi no Hi, is celebrated on the third Sunday in June, as it is in many parts of the world.

While traditions vary from family to family, a common theme is one of gratitude expressed through objects and experiences that can be enjoyed long after the day itself has passed.

Carefully made pieces, whether used at the table, displayed in the home, or appreciated as part of a collection, carry a sense of lasting connection.

Inspired by this spirit of appreciation, we have selected several one-of-a-kind pieces, each reflecting the craftsmanship and character that define vintage Japanese design.

Through June, please enjoy 25% off sitewide (excludes collaborations).

In Japan, Mother’s Day, or Haha no Hi, is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, as in many parts of the world.

It’s a day devoted to expressing gratitude, often beginning with children rising early to greet their mothers with flowers, breakfast, and a little extra help around the house.

Red carnations are the classic symbol of this day, signifying love, admiration, and affection. Alongside flowers, thoughtful gifts are chosen that blend practicality with gratitude: handwritten kanji messages, elegant teaware, and other finely made objects that encourage moments of quiet pause.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, we are pleased to showcase a selection of gifts and collectibles from the Chidori Vintage online store.

“Chidori Vintage has always had fun vintage and antiques.

The items I bought are not only hard to find but also fairly rare. The cost was within my range and the courtesy and response via email was superb.

There are still some items in their catalog I have my eye on, I just hope they aren’t gone by the time I get around to buying them.

Great job guys, and thanks for all your help and support.” —Gerald K.

Thanks so much, Gerald. —Dan and Maiko, Chidori Vintage
