Lotus and Persimmon

cms-img

Lotus & Persimmon is an emporium dedicated to the art and artifacts of Asia.

The lotus symbolizes tropical Southeast Asia, where it floats serenely on calm water surfaces from rivers to courtyard basins.  The persimmon represents temperate Northeast Asia, where it burnishes the autumnal glory of gardens and valleys.

Our Speciality
