Mingei Gallery is dedicated to ancient and contemporary Japanese decorative arts. For the past fifteen years, it has been located in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district in Paris, under the direction of Philippe Boudin and his daughter, Zoé Niang.The gallery is renowned for its thematic exhibitions, monographic artist shows, and the publication of monographs. It plays a leading role as an ambassador for Japanese bamboo basketry used in ikebana floral arrangements as part of tea ceremonies. Today, Mingei Gallery is the most active gallery in Europe in promoting this art form.
On the occasion of the 9th edition of Printemps Asiatique Paris, Galerie Mingei is taking part in the Asian Art Fair at Galerie Charpentier and presents the exhibition:
