Welcome To Another Century Japanese art and antiques Welcome To Another Century has been specializing in Japanese works of art for over 30 years.

We focus on the arts related to Buddhism on the one hand and mingei on the other. We are buying and selling ceramics, painting, lacquer work, netsuke, sculpture and mingei from the Edo period to the present. Apart from Japanese works of art, we do offer some Buddhist art from China and other Asian countries. We enjoy doing research on historical and material backgrounds of pieces, so we can pass on as much information to you as possible.
