The Romang Collection
Japanese and Korean Art: From Antiquity to Contemporary
Comprising over 1,500 meticulously researched works, The Romang Collection represents four centuries of East Asian artistic and technical mastery, dating from the 16th century to the present day. The collection features highly specialized historical holdings—including early Japanese ceramics, Goryeo celadon, traditional tea culture objects, and Edo-period maki-e lacquerware—alongside an important selection of contemporary masterpieces.
Bridging classical connoisseurship with rigorous academic investigation, every piece is selected for its rarity, historical significance, and cultural authenticity. Supported by documented provenance, detailed material analysis, and scholarly notes, these works invite curators, scholars, and discerning collectors to engage deeply with the living legacy of East Asian art.
