We'd like you to have the opportunity to experience a taste of the true samurai spirit and of traditional japanese culture. This site reflects Giuseppe Piva’s line of business: the research and the selling of antique Japanese art, from the Kamakura period until the modern days - exploring all the fields in which Japanese artists and craftsmen have successfully worked at their best. The gallery offers a wide and accurate selection of Japanese antique works of art, including netsuke, inro, armors, katana, tsuba, screens and sculptures. Giuseppe Piva Japanese Art gallery is located in the heart of the city of Milan, a short walk from the Fashion district and only a few meters from the subway station "San Babila".

A choice of quality that we believe our customers will appreciate, together with all the information which we have tried to gather over the years to illustrate the many Japanese armours, netsuke, buddhist sculpture, and the subtle and ethereal art of Japanese screens.
