Japanese prints, with their visual poetry and graphic refinement, fascinate art lovers the world over.
In Paris, a city of culture and collectors, the curious and the passionate alike can discover these treasures from Japan in a number of specialized venues.
But for an intimate and authentic experience, one address discreetly stands out from the crowd: Kogeiya, a showroom-gallery dedicated to traditional Japanese arts, located in Vincennes, just a stone's throw from the capital.
Feel free to drop in (by appointment), and I'll show you some prints over coffee.
An immersion in Japanese printmaking
At Kogeiya, you won't find crowds or impersonal shop windows, but a hushed, welcoming atmosphere, where you take the time to contemplate each work.
The gallery offers a rigorous selection of Japanese prints, combining the great masters of the Edo period such as Hokusai and Hiroshige with modern and contemporary artists, for a broad and sensitive vision of this age-old art.
Each print on display is carefully selected, elegantly framed and accompanied by explanations of its origin, technique and history.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or just a hobbyist, you'll be guided with passion and pedagogy.
Visits by appointment: a personalized approach
Visits to Kogeiya are by appointment only, to guarantee a privileged moment of exchange and discovery. This approach allows each visitor to take full advantage of the works, without haste or distractions. A rare opportunity to immerse yourself in Japanese aesthetics in a tranquil, human-scale setting.
Kogeiya is more than just prints: it's a lively place where ceramics, handicrafts and unique pieces of Japanese know-how coexist. A true bridge between Japan and France, driven by the desire to share a refined, humble and deeply inspiring culture.
