Covering
the Artwork
Artworks that have been passed down from person to person. We create custom made protective cloth for each art work so that they can be carefully passed down to future generations.
Pouch
of Tea Utensils
A pouch(shifuku)used in the tea gathering to hold chaire and tea bowl. Not only were they used to protect tea utensils, but they were also made from special fabrics and treasured as objects of appreciation. There are cases where they are torn or lost as they are passed down. At our gallery, we consult with experts on tea utensils that require pouch(shifuku)and carry out repairs or custom made preparations.
With Box
The original box is an indispensable part of tea utensils, and box with artist’s sign is indispensable for modern art. In japan, there is a long standing culture of storing and passing on important works of art in boxes. Unlike tea utensils, ancient ceramics that are primarily intended for viewing may not come with their original boxes. If the artwork does not come with a box, we will custom make one for you.
Attention to Condition
and Restoration
Our gallery strives to sell artworks in excellent condition, but when it comes to antiques that have been around for many years, it is difficult to stock only undamaged(perfect)works. While we are committed to selecting works with as few scratches and repairs as possible, for works with noticeable damage, we will have them passed through the skilled hands of an art restorer before delivering them to our customers.
