We are proud to introduce Gallery Wanokura, a refined destination for exceptional Japanese artworks, specializing in Satsuma ware and other masterfully crafted artifacts from the late Edo and Meiji periods. These objects, once Japan’s first artistic ambassadors to the world, were introduced to an international audience at the 1873 World Exposition in Vienna—marking the beginning of the Japonisme movement that captivated Western collectors and institutions alike.

With deep respect for this legacy, Gallery Wanokura actively travels across Europe and North America, engaging with private collectors and international fairs to rediscover Japanese masterpieces that once journeyed across oceans. Each piece is carefully selected for its historical significance, artistic excellence, and the spirit of craftsmanship it embodies.

While these artifacts have long been treasured abroad, recent years have seen a growing resurgence of interest within Japan. Through this gallery, we aim to reintroduce these remarkable works to a wider audience—offering not only the opportunity to collect, but also to reconnect with a chapter of Japanese heritage that continues to inspire admiration worldwide.

At Gallery Wanokura, we invite you to explore the beauty, precision, and pride of Japan’s Meiji-era artistry—preserved, celebrated, and shared.
