Printemps Asiatique & Le Carré Makes its Museum

An invitation to the heart of Asian art in Paris

 

Dear friends, dear collectors,

 

June is here, and with it, one of the most anticipated events for all Asian art lovers in Paris: Printemps Asiatique 2025.

 

This edition promises to be particularly rich, bringing together museums, galleries, and institutions around thematic tours, exceptional exhibitions, and a series of fascinating lectures.

 

Our gallery, located at 23 rue de Beaune, is participating in this international event for the eighth year.

 

We will be pleased to welcome you on Tuesday, June 4th, starting at 6 p.m. for the opening evening of our exhibition.

 

 

 

A masterpiece of Japanese lacquer: An exceptional 18th-century suzuribako

 

 

Among the major pieces presented this year, we will unveil an exceptional Japanese suzuribako from the first half of the 18th century, composed of twenty ink boxes stacked on a rolling tray. Used for poetic games at court, this refined object embodies the intellectual delicacy of Edo-period Japan, combining a culture of gesture and an aesthetic of detail.

 

This museum-quality lacquer masterpiece perfectly encapsulates our artistic vision: celebrating materials, transmission, and the dialogue between form and thought.

Le Carré fait son musée: a second highlight at the gallery

 

From June 11 to 14, we are participating in the event Le Carré fait son musée, organized by the Carré Rive Gauche, a leading center for decorative arts and antiquities in Paris.
 

To mark the occasion, a second opening reception will be held at the gallery on June 11, featuring new modern Japanese ceramics, complementing the pieces exhibited for Printemps Asiatique.

 

This renewed exhibition will allow you to discover a broader selection, blending modernity and tradition, with works by 20th-century Japanese potters rarely seen in Europe.

 

An exceptional conference program

 

Printemps Asiatique and Carré Rive Gauche are offering a packed program of  parcours, visits and conferences this year, spread across the galleries and museums along the exhibition route.

Among them, we draw your attention to a conference dedicated to the tea ceremony, which subtly illuminates the link between ritual, architecture, and everyday objects in Japan.
