Summer 2026

This summer, we are pleased to unveil a remarkable selection of new acquisitions, now available to view on our site. Each carefully selected work reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing exceptional Japanese art to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Reflecting the depth and beauty of Japan’s printmaking tradition, the selection includes works of extraordinary range and beauty — among them Hiroshige’s (1797–1858) Naruta Whirlpool, Awa Province (1855), a masterwork that exemplifies the artist’s celebrated ability to capture the power and poetry of the natural world.
