Sales Gallery

For a long time it has been quite difficult to acquire a piece by Kumano unless you made your way to visit the man on the far side of Japan, or happened to be in Tokyo the week of his annual show in that city. The main reason is the very small output of each firing combined with Kumano's extremely high standards as to what he is willing to sell. This left precious few pieces each year that were not specifically earmarked for exhibitions.

Latest Update (May 2024)

Included are several pieces with truly remarkable effects.

• Each purchase includes a signed storage box. See Sample.
• For instructions on placing an order, see Contact.
• Although a crack is sometimes visible on the surface of a piece, please be assured that it sealed itself during the firing. Every object is water-tight.
• NOTE: Prices listed on the previous offerings shown BELOW the paintings displayed on this page may not be current. Actual prices, depending on the fluctuating yen, could be higher. We apologize for this situation.
