The temperatures are rising in the UK, Wimbledon is about to start and across the pond, the World Cup is in full swing. It must be summer… and with that… it’s time for our latest seasonal newsletter.
In this edition we look at the traditional Japanese form of wax sculpture, pointing to the sky, see how the moon has inspired Japanese artists for centuries and we showcase two extraordinary and very different examples of monumental Meiji-era metalwork.
We also look back at some of the amazing art work that has been added to our website over the past few months and offer a preview of some of the fascinating pieces we will be adding in the coming weeks.
So, sit back, pour yourself something cold and enjoy our mid-summer newsletter.

What we value: Our assessment service
Already this year, we have helped to raise hundreds of pounds for the British Red Cross through our “What We Value” initiative. We regularly receive requests to provide appraisals and background information on Chinese and Japanese artworks and rather than charge for this service, we simply ask that a small donation be made to our chosen charity.
The British Red Cross, as part of the Global Disaster Emergency Committee, carries out incredible and vital work, providing food and water, first aid, shelter, warm clothing, hygiene parcels and much more. You can find out more about this initiative and how to request an assessment click here.
