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.
THREE VALUES

CURATION
We consult with you on the intended use, your corporate colours, the visitors you receive and more, then propose the works best suited to you.

Works displayed in a variety of places create points of contact between the artist and new audiences. The proceeds from rental also support the next work and the transmission of the craft.

Noticed naturally before and after a meeting, and a ready opening for conversation.

Bring the experience of Japanese culture to lobbies, lounges and guest rooms—a particular asset for international guests.

From ¥11,000 per month, per work

Built around a work of real presence, for a space that embodies a company's philosophy and its sense of beauty.
