Japanese Art

Encompassing works of art from the early period to the present day, Christie’s auctions of Japanese and Korean art offer important Buddhist sculpture, metalwork, ceramics, lacquerware, woodblock prints, samurai armour and much more.

Held once a year in New York during Asian Art Week, Christie’s Japanese and Korean Art auctions have become a major event for those seeking rare and historically significant works. In addition to our live auctions, we also hold online auctions throughout the year. Our auctions attract a diverse group of collectors, both Western and Asian, drawn by the global appeal of these exceptional artworks.

As international market leaders in this category, we are dedicated to sourcing the finest works of Japanese and Korean art from private collections around the world. Our experienced teams are based in London, New York and Tokyo, and specialists are always available for free and confidential valuations or to discuss the market.
