Seller's Story

Reiwa Antiques is an officially licensed antique dealer based in Japan, with over 15 years of experience in international art trading. Our mission is not simply to sell Japanese antiques, but to provide an exceptional buying experience to collectors around the world. We take great pride in the trust we have earned from our customers, who consistently appreciate our carefully selected artworks, honest and accurate descriptions, secure and thoughtful packaging, prompt international delivery, and attentive service before and after every purchase. We believe that every work of Japanese art deserves to be handled with care and respect. To help ease the financial burden on international buyers who may also face VAT, import duties, and customs fees, we have traditionally offered free international shipping. However, due to the continuing rise in transportation, delivery, and labor costs, maintaining this service has become increasingly difficult. After careful consideration, we have reluctantly decided to charge shipping fees separately for our Catawiki auctions. Shipping costs are clearly displayed before bidding, while applicable import taxes and customs-related fees remain the buyer's responsibility, as before. Although our shipping policy is changing, our dedication to quality, honesty, safe delivery, and outstanding customer service remains unchanged. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued trust, and look forward to sharing the beauty of Japanese art with you. Reiwa Antiques
