Galerie Zacke is delighted to present Fine Japanese Art, a live auction featuring 600 lots spanning every era of Japan’s rich history.

The first 368 lots are elegantly showcased in our print catalog, curated to highlight Arts of the Samurai, Metalwork, Buddhist Art, Lacquerware, Porcelain, and Paintings & Woodblock Prints. Lots 369 to 600 are in our online catalog, dedicated to okimono, sagemono, and miniature works of art.

All 600 lots will be offered in a single continuous live auction beginning at 10 AM CET on 13 June. 

We open with a dynamic selection of bronzes, metalwork, and samurai art. Notable highlights include a rare inlaid iron koro by Myochin Munenori (Lot 48), an impressive Myochin school suit of armor (Lot 108), and a superb tanto by Kunishige (Lot 120).

Our Buddhist Art section features incredible pieces such as a gilt-bronze figure of Jizo Bosatsu (Lot 150) and a large gilt-lacquered wood depiction of Kanzan and Jittoku (Lot 157). 

The auction continues with an exquisite offering of lacquerware, including pieces from the celebrated Maybelle Dore Collection and other private collections (Lots 224–294). Rounding out the print session is a refined selection of panel screens, paintings, and woodblock prints (Lots 295–368).

The sale ends with a choice selection of miniature art, including sword fittings and jewelry, inro & other sagemono, okimono, and fine netsuke (lots 369 to 600).
