Japan's Finest Beauty, Reaching Wider

ARTerrace RENT is a rental service for one-of-a-kind works by leading Japanese craft artists.

ARTerrace RENT began from a wish to multiply, within society at large, the points at which craft and people meet—not only in museums and galleries, but in places where people work, places where they stay and places they visit. You can begin with a single work, and we propose works to suit the space and the purpose. Dedicated staff support you from selection through to installation.
