Galerie Mingei

The Mingei Gallery is specialized in ancient and contemporary decorative arts from Japan. Located in the heart of the Parisian district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the gallery is directed by Philippe Boudin and his daughter Zoé Niang. The gallery is renowned for its thematic exhibitions and monographs devoted to artists.

Mingei Gallery is the ambassador of Japanese bamboo basketry. It is the most important European gallery promoting this specialty. The exhibition "Fendre l'Air, l'art du bambou au Japon" (November 27, 2018 until April 7, 2019) at the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac has largely contributed to the recognition of this art in Europe. The Mingei Gallery has actively participated in the production of this exhibition that has marked the memories.
