Art in Tokyo, very very briefly.

To be honest, I don’t like Tokyo at all… Maybe because I grew up in Kanagawa prefecture (Yokohama, Kamakura, Shona, Hakone… please refer to the previous post) or simply I am a country bum. First, Tokyo intimidates me with its subway system.. Don’t expect the one like New York’s Times Square. It’s an ever-lost maze. How many times I ask people to reach one destination every time I go to Tokyo!





This is the National Art Center in Roppongi where I always get lost. What amazed me most was the number of the exhibitions concurrently on view.. You really have to pay attention to the sign of the gallery entrance, otherwise you’ll end up seeing a wrong exhibit.. I don’t know how to describe…It’s like a cinema complex, It’s huge.



I was also able to make it to some galleries in Kiyosumi Shirakawa. After passing through the Kiyosumi Park, make a left turn at the parking lot and then go right towards the gallery building that looks like a shipping company. The elevator is kind of cool.

The entrance of Taka Ishii Gallery. They were showcasing recent works by Tomoo Gokita.


There are a lot of things I definitely need to study but the next gallery district in Tokyo could be Bakuro Yokoyama. This is the entrance of Gallery Hashimoto. They just started their new exhibition of Miyuki Tsugami. Beautiful!
