Floating World Auctions
Floating World Auctions is the world's leading on-line auction of Japanese prints and paintings, offering exceptional works of all periods and genres, including ukiyo-e, shin hanga, sosaku hanga and contemporary works. Prior to Covid, we ran bi-annual sales in the spring and fall, along with occasional no reserve timed auctions. Since April, 2020 we have increased the pace of our auction, holding a themed sale approximately every 6 to 8 weeks. We purchase artwork outright as well as accept consignments.
Bill and Roberta Stein manage the auction. Between them, Bill and Roberta have over 60 years experience in the trade.

Smooth Transaction
That about says it all. They were very responsive to my request for hi res photos and the etching was as described by the auction house. Arrived safely too. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again

Accuracy, helpfulness, and quality packaging
I found Floating World Auctions great people to deal with. They had photographed and described my items accurately, so I received what I expected-no hidden surprises. They were helpful in suggesting my shipping method, and their packaging was superior so that the items were protected from the edges of the package, preventing the bruising which might otherwise occur. Thank you.

Fantastic all around
Roberta was a delight to deal with during the invoicing process and the item was shipped promptly and packaged well-delivered exactly one week after winning the lot. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will gladly buy from again.
