About TOKYO CHUO Company

Tokyo Chuo Auction (Tokyo Chuo Auction) was established in 2010 to actively promote cultural exchanges between China and Japan. It successfully held the first Chinese art auction in Tokyo in the same year, and was also the first auction house to hold Chinese antiques in Japan. It set a record in the Japanese auction industry at the time, attracted much attention, and injected new impetus into the antique market. Since then, many auctions have been held every year, presenting ancient and modern Chinese paintings and calligraphy, Chinese porcelain and handicrafts, bronzes, tea ceremony utensils, stationery, jewelry, and watches, etc., with remarkable results. Over the past few years, the Tokyo Central Auction Company has held more than ten auctions and held previews in Hong Kong, China, Taipei, Shanghai, and Beijing. The founder of the Tokyo Central Auction Company is Mr. Shokei Ando. He studied in Japan in high school. He was an early group of overseas Chinese who stayed in Japan after the reform and opening up. After graduating from college, they started a trade business. Nurtured by his family, he developed a keen interest in Chinese art, so he founded Tokyo Central Auction, committed to holding outstanding auctions, actively sponsoring and participating in literary and artistic activities, showcasing famous Chinese products and treasures, and regularly holding lectures “Central Tea Party” to promote tea ceremony culture. In an effort to expand the company's auction business in the Hong Kong art market in China, Tokyo Central Auction Company established Tokyo Central Auction (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong in 2013, and held its first Hong Kong auction at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong in November 2014.
