SAKAE ART

Lease & Rental

A Day, in Gold.

Genuine gold-thread obi art, furnished for a season instead of bought outright. From a single event day to a full year in your space. Delivery, installation and removal — leave it all to us.

One of a Kind

Every piece is unique. The same work can never be made again.

Real Gold

A traditional Japanese obi woven with genuine gold — never alloy or imitation.

Master Framing

Each piece is fitted and framed by a renowned Nagano atelier.

Delivery & Installation

From framing to delivery and installation, arranged on request.

Two Ways to Lease

Short-Term Rental (Daily)

Exhibitions, receptions, ceremonies, shoots — fill the space with gold for just the occasion. Delivery through removal, arranged by the day.

Seasonal Rotation & Long-Term Lease (Monthly)

For permanent installation in hotels, shops and offices. Works rotate with the seasons, so the space wears a new expression with every visit. Monthly terms, no upfront cost.

Occasions

01

Exhibitions & Receptions

Japanese art worth talking about, for your booth or venue. A single piece that stays in a visitor's memory.

02

Japanese Ceremonies & Events

Anniversary ceremonies, celebrations, the reception of honoured guests. A gold-thread obi lends the occasion dignity and a story.

03

Weddings

The obi was, from its origins, woven with a bride's prayers. Bring a genuine, one-of-a-kind piece of gold to the reception setting.

04

Film, Commercial & Music Video Shoots

Real texture for the art set — never a reproduction. Already framed, ready to place as is.

Why Lease, Not Buy

Each one-of-a-kind gold-thread obi artwork is a museum-grade piece that would otherwise cost hundreds of thousands of yen or more. Leasing brings that same value into your space, without the upfront cost of ownership.

  • No upfront cost. Only for as long as you need it.
  • Delivery, installation and removal, all arranged.
  • Rotate the collection freely, to match the season or occasion.
  • Genuine gold leaf and silk, one of a kind — never a reproduction.
