The Japonista Circle
Keep any piece in a private gallery, hear by email when its price is lowered, and propose a figure on eligible pieces. There is no password to remember: one short code by email signs you in.
You have spent some time among the pieces, and we are glad of it. Leave an email and the code is yours at once, with occasional letters from Tokyo on new arrivals.
One use per member on a first order, not combined with other courtesies. Leave the list whenever you wish.
Trade and clients
Stylists, designers, dealers and curators work with a single team of curators: pieces secured, examined in Tokyo and delivered under one standard, with terms that deepen as the relationship does.
