DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
What comes up to you if you think of Japanese fine arts? Many of you may think of ukiyo-e. Ukiyo-e printings represented by the art works by Hiroshige and Hokusai are the most prevalent Japanese fine arts in the world and ukiyo-e is the most famous Japanese icon. We sell many genuine ukiyo-e printings.
However, ukiyo-e consists only one category of the Japanese fine arts.
In each period of Japanese history from Heian, Kamakura, Muromachi, Edo, Meiji, Taisyo, Showa to post-war period, Japanese fine arts reflecting the culture of the period bloomed such as native but the exquisite picture scrolls of the Heian period (8th -12th century) and the elegant calligraphy written in the pieces of antique books and scrolls (Kohitsu-gire).
I feel that many things of the wonderful Japanese fine arts with breathtaking beauty and humor, which also is deeply associated with the Zen philosophy, are still unknown to many people.
I am proud to introduce brilliant and vivid Japanese fine arts from each period where artists tried to create something new while they carried on the tradition from Ginza, Tokyo.
