Museum-Grade Art Logistics Suite™ | Japonista
For Oversized, Heavy, Fragile or Historically Significant Pieces
When an item is too large, too delicate or too important for ordinary shipping, we design a museum-level logistics plan from crate design to final delivery.
Examples of Items We Handle
- Stone lanterns (tōrō) and other garden elements
- Buddhist statues, altar pieces and temple fixtures
- Tansu cabinets and heavy antique furniture
- Life-size character figures and display pieces
- Large ceramics, lacquerware and fragile art
- Architectural salvage, beams, doors and panels
Our Approach
- On-site condition assessment and measurement when required
- Custom crate or pallet design for each specific piece
- Shock-absorbing inner packing and protective wrapping
- Coordination with trusted freight and art-handling partners
- Documentation for insurance and customs when needed
- Careful scheduling to minimize risk and transit time
When Safety Matters More Than Speed
For museum-grade or heirloom pieces, we prioritize safety over speed. Each move is intentional and every layer of packing is chosen to protect your object from vibration, impact and environmental stress.
