wamono art was founded in 2016 in Hong Kong and Tokyo. The word “wamono” consists of the words “wa = Japan” and “mono = piece / physical object / oneness”. In keeping with its name, wamono art focuses on introducing emerging and established contemporary Japanese artists through their ambitions, experiences, philosophies, and aesthetics. Such uniqueness is all condensed and represented in the original art pieces.
