Services
Fine Art Procurement
ZESSEE represents and enhances Japanese artisanal work within the vibrant art and interior scenes of Los Angeles. We proudly showcase artworks using centuries-old techniques that embody the concept of Shizen – the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. Our artisans masterfully weave their skills with natural materials like Bizen clay, Urushi tree sap, and mud-dyed Amami silk. At ZESSEE, you can immerse yourself in the transcendent beauty of appreciating small details through our thoughtfully curated art pieces, inviting you to embrace a mindful way of life.
Please inquire about materials and techniques not listed here. Custom orders and artist collaborations are also available for consultation.
Luxury Travel
Our tailor-made itineraries invite you to immerse yourself in the authentic essence of Japan; exploring hidden gems where local hipsters unwind, tantalize your taste buds at a little-known hidden restaurant, and engaging in avant-garde cultural scenes that pulse beneath the surface. We go beyond the touristy trails that delve into local niche cultures, offering you a genuine and unique connection with Japan's rich heritage.
