Peter and Lois Gilder have been buying and selling Japanese prints for over 40 years. Their initial interest in Japan grew from a passion for the thousands of years old game of Go. A pilgrimage to Japan in 1971 to study the game led to a two year stay during which Peter achieved Nidan (Second Degree Master) status. Lois spent the two years at the American School in Japan as a preschool teacher. While living in Japan, They started collecting prints depicting Go. Returning to California, They opened Arts and Designs of Japan in Carmel selling prints, tansu, fabrics, baskets and other Japanese antiques. They soon began to specialize in prints closing the gallery in 1978 to work from a home office and relocated to San Francisco in 1982. Their webpage notes: "We offer a very large selection of prints in all categories and price ranges. We are very actively buying all the time, so we can help clients search for specific requests or build significant collections. We have a deep interest in all aspects of Japanese culture and we are happy to share our enthusiasm for the country with our clients. We will happily direct you to some excellent vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo and Kyoto, or in San Francisco, for that matter. We are members of the Ukiyoe Dealers Association of Japan, the Dutch Society and the Ukiyoe Society of America".BackgroundPeter was born in New York and graduated from Bronx High School of Science and City College of New York.
