About Us:

Merlin C. Dailey & Associates, Inc. has offered fine Japanese prints, paintings, drawings and illustrated books since 1970. As the East West Gallery in upstate New York, my wife Mary Ann and I opened for business in the summer of that year.

Our earliest forays into the 'Floating World' of Japanese art began with assembling a small study collection of Japanese prints from local antique shops in Kansas City, while studying painting, printmaking, Asian philosophy and Asian Art history at the Kansas City Art Institute. We received our B. F. A. degrees in the summer of 1958. My greatest treasure in those days was a fine impression of Hiroshige's "Rain at Shono Pass" from the first Tokaido series, which I acquired from a service man who had returned to Kansas City from post war Japan to study art. During that summer after graduation my fiancee and I married, and I prepared for graduate school.
