Auctions of Japanese Fine Art, United States

Japanese fine art covers a wide of objects influenced by a wide range of periods from ancient time to modern-day. Objects can be found made in ceramics including both porcelain and stonewares produced in dozens of regions throughout the country. Including fine porcelains produced in the Arita provinces, Seto to the island of Hirado. Unlike China, Japan only learned to make porcelain in the late 1500s with production not getting under full way until the mid 1600s.
