Explore Our Japanese Props and Accessories

Our carefully curated collection of Japanese props includes traditional stage accessories, decorative objects and ceremonial items used in theatre, film, television and cultural events. Each piece has been chosen for its authenticity, visual impact and cultural significance, with many dating from the Edo to Meiji periods.

Whether you’re producing a stage play, designing an exhibition or recreating a historical scene on screen, our props bring a genuine Japanese aesthetic to your project.

A Diverse and Authentic Collection

We offer a wide selection of items including:

  • Dance fans (mai-ōgi) – Gold, silver and floral designs
  • Hand mirrors (tekagami) – Often from the Meiji period
  • Umbrellas – Paper and bamboo parasols
  • Lacquered boxes and trays – Suitable for tea ceremonies and set dressing
  • Calligraphy and scrolls – With or without characters
  • Lanterns and folding screens – For atmospheric background design
  • Hair accessories and masks – Ideal for character costumes or detail work
  • Musical instruments – Decorative shamisen and koto (see musical instruments page)

Each item has been photographed for reference, and a growing number include size and condition notes. Some props are fragile or antique, so we will advise on appropriate handling or display.
