THE WORLD'S BEST SOURCE FOR TRADITIONAL JAPANESE ART

Gallery Japan is dedicated to introducing the world to contemporary craft artists who have raised traditional crafts to the level of art.

All Artists
  • 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.

  • Most of the artists manage their artworks by themselves, so it is difficult to confirm the availability of an artwork right away. After receiving your inquiry regarding the availability, price, fees, your order etc., Gallery Japan will contact the artist directly to confirm the availability and will send you a reply.
