Bidder Reviews for Ukiyoe Gallery Japanese Woodblock Prints (276)

My payment was processed, and when I inquired about shipping, I was told that it was included. That is the last correspondence I have received. I have called and written multiple times to see where my items are, but I never get a response. I have purchased items previously with no issue. I fear they have gone out of business and taken my money with them.

I am a very satisfied repeat buyer: Ukiyoe Gallery provides reliable listings: detailed descriptions and clear images; I always receive a fine print, and the packing is absolutely the best. I am always happy to do business with this seller.

Every item was as described. This is the second time buying from Ukiyoe and I can highly recommend them.

akways has been an excellent experience

Still not received three weeks after auction and my prompt payment. Guys, the thing is the size of a postage stamp. Also too many items on reserve.

Best place to buy prints! Easy easy easy. Stress free purchases every time

Excellent as usual!

Good communication, fair shipping price, good quality product. Highly recommended auction house.

I felt pretty good about this purchase, the buyer premium and inhouse shipping cost were good, the description was accurate, the process after winning the bidding was simple, the print was packaged well and shipped quickly. Overall it was the way things ought to work

They concealed condition issues and wont even now reply to my inquiries or pictures. LiveAuctioneers offers no support either. Find other more reputable woodblock print dealers and auction houses.

I've won several of their auctions and never had a problem.

I'm thrilled with my woodblock prints and can't wait to see them on my walls

Never regretted buying from Ukiyoe. I've loved every purchase.

excellent selection of prints in each auction, Often slow (10 days) to ship to customer.

I wish all auctioneers would behave in this way!

I've won maybe half a dozen auctions from Ukiyoe Gallery and have had very mixed results. I'm writing this review on March 23rd 2025 after having won an auction on March 2nd; I have yet to receive the item, although it's expected to arrive tomorrow. I know they're a small gallery, but I really wish they would offer a tiered shipping system for peace of mind. I've won auctions between $150-$2600, and waiting a month for an expensive piece is a nightmare. They're not fast with answering questions either, and while I understand that there's no tone in text, I always feel like I'm hassling them, and it's my fault. I've had issues with accuracy too. Prints shown to be Number X/100 have arrived as Y/100. When I asked about it, I was told that I could return the piece for a refund, but I'd have to pay shipping. Maybe just post the ACTUAL item, the number DOES matter. Even with these issues, I still participate in their auctions. Just be wary, "Inconsistent at Best" is truly how I describe them.

Great print very nice condition

Not sure what happened here as I’ve purchased from this gallery before without issue. I immediately paid the invoice, however the item never shipped fully 1 month later. Despite multiple attempts via direct contact with the gallery (including their phone number is non-working) via phone and email as well as on this portal, I’ve yet to receive a response. I’ve now disputed the charge with my credit card company.

Thanks

Have purchase from before and intend to again. Pleasant experience.

From quality of items to quality of packing, everything is absolutely first rate

lithograph in perfect condition, everything perfectly packed! good communication I highly recommend them

This was a great buying experience. The print was described perfectly, shipped quickly and well packed. I would buy from then again with no hesitation. Thank-you.

Please with three items and not so much with the other two. I don't think an artist should be definitively shown of the piece is not signed. It is my fault I didn't look at the listing closely enough to determine this but I felt this house did things properly.
