ZOI
Zoi is a small, independently run antique showroom and sourcing service based in Kyoto, founded by husband-and-wife team Kingy Hsu and Jun Hagan. Our journey began with a shared love for collecting, restoring, and learning about antiques—something we had been doing for years before deciding to turn it into something more tangible.Our work is rooted in relationships—whether with local vendors, artisans, or collectors— allowing us to source meaningful pieces and share the stories behind them. Kingy, a photographer with a background in styling and prop-making, brings an intuitive eye for storytelling and aesthetics. Jun, with a background in fashion and sustainable design is passionate about preservation and restoration.
