Wabi Sabi Asobee is a small online shop based in Japan dedicated to traditional Japanese folk toys.
These toys, known as “Kyodo Gangu,” were once made by local artisans across Japan as charms for protection, good fortune, and children’s play. Each region developed its own unique designs, shapes, and meanings.
Although they were once part of everyday life in Japan, many of these toys are now disappearing. We believe they deserve to be appreciated not only as toys, but also as beautiful pieces of folk art.
The founder of this shop is a passionate collector of Japanese folk toys. Fascinated by their charm, humor, and craftsmanship, he began carefully collecting pieces from different regions of Japan.
Our goal is simple: to share the beauty of Japanese folk toys with collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
Every item is carefully selected in Japan and shipped directly from Japan.
