Learning
About Asian Art - Japanese Lacquer
|
The
China Coast,
like a merchant in one of
China's Treaty Ports, serves a clientele drawn from many countries.
In one form or another, the vision of Cathay has danced before
our eyes since the Middle Ages. The opening of the Indian
and Pacific Ocean to merchant vessels and the time of the
Treaty Ports from 1842 to 1943 formed our perceptions of things
Asian. The China Coast is a window on those now distant
times and hopes to recapture the magical spirit and wild adventure
of trading with the Orient.
We try
to find significant and whimsical pieces and unique treasures
of fine art and folk art for the demanding client as well
as the occasional shopper.
 Welcome
to the Year of the Tiger
- beginning February 14th! The Tiger symbolizes bravery, unpredictability
and competitiveness. The year of the Tiger is associated with
social upheaval and change, carefully watched over by the
Tiger in his role of protector.
