Company Profile

Founded in 2010, Tokyo Chuo Auction endeavors to foster cultural exchange between Japan and China. Tokyo Chuo Auction now holds several sales a year offering Chinese paintings and calligraphies, Chinese antiques and tea wares. We conduct auctions in Japan and Hong Kong and we hold previews in Japan, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Chinese Taipei.

Mr. Ando Shokei, our founder, who has a great passion for Chinese art, established Tokyo Chuo Auction Co., Ltd* (株式會社東京中央オークション) in 2010 in Japan with a mission to offer exceptional works of art at auction and to support cultural and art events. Tokyo Chuo Auction also regularly holds tea gatherings to promote the art of tea ceremony.

To further develop business activities in Hong Kong, an office was set up in Hong Kong in 2013. Tokyo Chuo Auction held its first auction in Hong Kong in November 2014 at the Four Seasons Hotel.
