Japan Collectors Guide
Every object tells a story. We tell you what it says.
Over 0 items documented · Free translation tool
Most Japanese collectibles arrive with inscriptions, dates, and markings the seller can't read. We can.
This site is for collectors of Japanese coins, banknotes, stamps, watches, models, and cultural objects who want more than catalog data. Every item has cultural depth: the story behind the Tsukuba Expo coin, the imperial year on the obverse, the shokunin who made it.
We combine reference content with a translation tool: upload a photo of any Japanese inscription and get the translation, romanization, and cultural context. No other Japanese collectibles site offers that. The content is seeded from a personal collection and expanded for the community.
