Japan Private Acquisition Advisory Retainer™

For collectors and private clients who need continuing Japan-side acquisition advisory across galleries, dealers, objects, and movement planning.

Japan Private Acquisition Advisory Retainer™ is a custom-scoped ongoing private desk relationship for clients who need recurring Japan-side advisory support around art, antiques, gallery routes, dealer paths, cultural objects, collector acquisition, object review, provenance-sensitive questions, seller coordination, purchase sequencing, pickup, custody, packing, and movement planning.

This is not a standard fixed-price subscription. It is used only after the client’s acquisition goals, object categories, dealer or gallery routes, budget range, proof concerns, destination, custody needs, movement risk, and operating cadence have been reviewed and accepted.

Best for

• Collectors, advisors, family offices, private buyers, designers, institutions, or serious clients managing multiple Japan-side acquisition opportunities over time
• Ongoing art, antiques, gallery, dealer, craft, textile, ceramic, print, lacquer, metalwork, furniture, folk craft, or cultural-object acquisition support
• Cases where provenance, attribution, condition, documentation, seller claims, export sensitivity, packing, custody, or freight may affect the acquisition path
• Clients who need continuing advisory rhythm before, during, and after gallery visits, dealer contact, object review, seller communication, purchase planning, or movement coordination
• Needs that have outgrown one Art, Antiques & Gallery Route Review or one active Guided Shopping Case Deposit

What this private desk may include

• Recurring acquisition-priority planning, dealer-route review, object-category refinement, and purchase-path sequencing across accepted acquisition themes
• Coordination guidance around accepted galleries, dealers, antique shops, fairs, craft routes, private sellers, object sources, appointment windows, and visit sequences
• Practical review of available object photos, seller context, provenance signals, stated condition, certificates, inscriptions, pricing, custody, packing, export, and movement considerations based on supplied information
• Planning for accepted gallery coordination, dealer communication, object-specific review routing, guided visits, seller handoff, pickup, temporary custody, packing, or movement sequencing
• Coordination between the appropriate JapanSolved™ gallery shopping, art and antiques review, cultural asset intelligence, private buyer, sourcing, cargo, and local-representation routes
• A defined operating rhythm, review queue, active-object limits, communication channel, escalation path, and scope boundaries after onboarding

Important boundary

This is a custom-scoped acquisition advisory retainer, quoted only after the continuing need is understood. It is not an appraisal, authentication certificate, valuation, investment recommendation, provenance guarantee, export approval, customs advice, legal opinion, specialist certificate, appointment guarantee, purchase authorization, seller-payment service, freight purchase, or blanket authority to act without case-by-case confirmation.

Item prices, seller charges, gallery charges, appointment fees, guide time, interpretation, specialist reports, authentication, appraisal, negotiation, pickup, storage, packing, insurance, export preparation, shipping, customs brokerage, duties, taxes, and third-party vendor costs are separate unless expressly quoted.

JapanSolved™ does not guarantee authenticity, provenance, attribution, condition, seller cooperation, gallery access, appointment acceptance, purchase success, exportability, insurance acceptance, delivery timing, investment outcome, or destination clearance. The operating scope, response rhythm, active-object limits, and escalation process are confirmed after intake.

After scope confirmation

After the retainer scope and payment structure are agreed, complete the assigned intake form using the confirmed billing email and include acquisition goals, object categories, dealer or gallery names where relevant, links or photos, known proof or documentation concerns, budget range, destination, travel dates, custody or movement concerns, and the support rhythm required.

When another product should lead

• Choose Japan Art, Antiques & Gallery Route Review™ when the gallery route, dealer path, appointment logic, target category, object sensitivity, or movement risk still needs a paid first review.
• Choose Japan Art & Antiques Guided Shopping Case Deposit™ when the immediate need is one active guided visit, dealer coordination, interpretation, pickup, custody, or acquisition-support case rather than ongoing advisory support.
• Choose Japan Art & Antique Appraisal Review™ when one specific object, listing, certificate, inscription, provenance claim, or condition question needs object-level review.
• Choose Japan Art & Antique Specialist Case Deposit™ when the matter has already escalated into deeper specialist coordination, seller communication, acquisition, export sensitivity, or object-specific due diligence.
• Choose Japan Private Buyer Execution Review™ when a suitable object has already been identified and the immediate task is buyer-side seller contact, negotiation, pickup, custody, or execution planning.
