Conservation of old Japanese style paintings and scripts

Art works can be enjoyed for a long time if damages such as stains and creases are repaired properly. We also deal with re-framing pictures for design change. Your precious works will come back alive.


Paintings and scripts start wearing out as soon as they are produced by being exposed to the air. Especially in Japan, the conditions are not ideal for paintings made on materials such as paper or silk, since the humidity is high and the temperature fluctuates a lot. At Sukiwa Corporation, we select suitable framing and mounting in order to preserve these paintings in the best condition. It is also important to be cautious of how you handle the paintings, and to pay attention to where you store them. In such environment and weather, you will need to repair the painting once every few decades, but we recommend you to repair the work before the damage gets too serious.
