Mitsuido Gallery presents a curated selection of approximately 400 works of Japanese art, spanning centuries of creative achievement across multiple schools, periods, and mediums. Founded in 1980 and rooted in over four decades of dedicated expertise, the gallery offers collectors, designers, and enthusiasts direct access to authentic works that reflect the breadth and depth of Japan’s artistic heritage — from the refinements of the Edo period through the innovations of the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras.
The collection encompasses ukiyo-e woodblock prints by masters across generations, intricately carved netsuke, ceramics and pottery from diverse kilns, lacquerware employing centuries-old urushi and makie techniques, bronze and wood sculptures, and kakejiku hanging scrolls alongside paintings in ink and color on paper and silk. Each category represents artists, schools, and traditions from across Japan, carefully selected for quality, condition, and historical significance. Works range from accessible pieces for those beginning their journey with Japanese art to museum-grade objects available by private inquiry.
The gallery is managed by Giulio Di Rienzo, an Italian intercultural communication specialist with over a decade of direct experience in the Japanese art market. His role as a cultural bridge between Japan and the international art world ensures that every acquisition is supported by informed guidance — whether a collector is seeking a single statement piece or a designer is sourcing works for a hospitality project. Provenance, authentication, and professional service define every transaction.
Located in Takayama, in the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture, Mitsuido Gallery welcomes visitors throughout the year at 3 Chome-1 Kamiokamotomachi, Takayama, Gifu 506-0055, Japan. The gallery is always open.
