Iwasawa Oriental Art

IWASAWA ORIENTAL ART is an oriental antique gallery located in the center of downtown Los Gatos, California, about 40 minuites from San Francisco International Airport, or 15 minuites from San Jose International Airport.

As you approach the building done in traditional Japanese architecture, complete with roof of blue tile imported from Japan, there comes a feeling of tranquillity. A noren on the front porch blows in the breeze. It is lettered with her family crest. Upon entering and being greeted by a smiling Kumiko Iwasawa Vadas, the feeling of serenity and anticipation envelope you. The elegant exhibits of Japanese antiques and contemporary art harmonize with their simple, natural surroundings. You are at Iwasawa Oriental Art in Los Gatos, California (in the heart of Silivon Valley) .

In 1982, Kumiko Iwasawa Vadas, the proprietor of Iwasawa Oriental Art, commissioned the design and construction of this traditional Japanese building to house the collection of Japanese antiquities. Iwasawa Oriental Art offers Identification and Appraisal services.

Ms. Iwasawa Vadas is the regional chairperson of International Netsuke Society
