Kurofune
Kurofune, run for the past quarter-century by a friendly American collector, carries an awesome treasure-trove of Japanese antiques. Correspondingly impressive amounts of cash are necessary to acquire such items, like painstakingly constructed antique tansu (Japanese chests of drawers), but it's a nice place to window-shop.

Japan Sword
Hattori Hanzō would be proud – this highly respected dealer has a beautiful showroom and lots of experience helping foreigners choose the right katana for their taste and budget. Priciest are the macabre tameshi-giri blades that have been 'used on humans'.
