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.
Corporate Solutions
Our Corporate Solutions are designed to enhance your business’s engagement with Japanese culture. From authentic branding and comprehensive market research to networking and translating/interpreting, our services bridge the gap between American businesses and the rich heritage of Japan. We are committed to providing insightful and effective solutions tailored to your specific business needs in the Japanese market.
