Selling to Japan

Hi all - as a result of donating some of my jewelry to the silent
auction at the awards banquet (my "coming out" event as an artist with
my former therapy colleagues) I have an opportunity to send some of my
work to Japan in 10 days to be shown to a few galleries in Tokyo.
Needless to say, I'm awed and amazed at the opportunity. The person who
will be "repping" me (when she isn't doing her uni prof thing) asked
for some photos, but I'm thinking photos plus a few pieces of my
lampwork bead and wire jewelry that she can take with her.
Have any of you sold in Japan?? If so, any tips about what is most
likely to catch the gallery owners' eyes??

Thanks Alia! I've been doing jewelry full-time for two years, and
lampwork beads full-time for just over a year. Dabbled before that for
several years with jewelry, and used it as a therapy medium in my
practice as an occupational therapist.

This whole thing fascinates me. Can't wait to here how it goes.

And I got my beautiful mirrored Galapagos beads. They're gorgeous.

You should check Japan's rules for bringing in jewelry. It's
amazingly expensive and requires completely taping the box.
