Is there a library of searchable asian seals?

Depends on what you mean by "searchable". This site allows you to search some Chinese seals by name and birthplace, but does not identify the seal's owner on the basis of the seal legend, which would be more useful.

You might want to be more specific. There are dozens of countries, languages, and seals in the region. What art objects are of interest; paintings, ceramics, prints, sculpture?

Cheerrs,

The book "The New & Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics" by Gerald Davison (2010, 2nd Edition published 2013, ISBN 978-0-9564518-1-1) contains over 3,400 Chinese and Sino-Vietnam seals on porcelain and pottery, including 21 pages in seal script and others devoted to symbolic marks. Check with Amazon, Paragon Book Gallary and other book retailers for current availability and prices.

Best regards,

Bill H.
