ICHIBAN STARTING TO CLOSE DOWN. We are starting to close down our business, a process that will take us a couple of years - age and health issues tell us it is time.. We still have over 1,500 items either currently listed on our website catalog or still to be posted onto it. So, from now on ALL ITEMS IN THE CATALOG MAY BE PURCHASED AT 40 % OFF THE LISTED PRICE. At these low prices, we do ask that you pay shipping and insurance charges for all items purchased. With thanks for your years of patronage, we look forward to serving you until the last items are sold. Cheers ~ Ichiban Antiques.

Please Note - we have an emergency medical problem in our family that will require us to be away for a period starting Sat. 11/08 and lasting no less than ten days - could be much longer. We will be checking our email daily and will be able to take any of your orders - then mark them as Sold. However we cannot ship until we return. We will not process any charges but hold your items for you till our return. Your understanding is appreciated.
