About Gallery Japan

We provide information on artworks created by approximately 2,000 artists, including Living National Treasures (Holders of Important Intangible Cultural Properties). These artworks include ceramics, textiles, lacquerware, metalwork, wood and bamboo, dolls, glass, cloisonné enamel work, kirikane cut foil embellishing, hardstone carving, inkstone carving, and sunagowork. We also provide information about artist profiles and styles.

All of the artworks on this website are new and come with exclusive boxes signed and stamped by the artist, so you can be assured on making a purchase.
Some artworks such as textiles do not come with a box.

Our dedicated staff will help you to find an artwork that meets your requirements by answering your questions, contacting the artist, receiving your order, and sending the artwork safely to you.
