Viewing modern art in a townhouse with more than 100 years of history.
Established in Ginza in 1969 as a gallery dealing with modern and contemporary European art. Since then, "Galerie Tomonaga" has opened galleries in Paris and Osaka, and has delivered excellent works to leading museums and collectors in Japan. The Kyoto branch, located in a quiet area along the Kamo River, is an atmospheric space in a renovated machiya (townhouse) that is over 100 years old. The works of mainly young Japanese artists are introduced here, and time spent with art that tickles your curiosity seems to restore a sense of relaxation to your mind. The exhibition is free of charge, so it is a great place to stop by when you visit Sanjusangendo or the Kyoto National Museum.
A machiya used as a bar workshop was renovated. Mushiko-mado tells the history of the building.
Time spent in quiet contemplation of a work of art is special. This is a must-see spot to stop by when strolling around Kyoto.
Get inspired by the works of up-and-coming artists who are the future of the Japanese art world.
This is the second exhibition this year on the theme of "Sakura". Thirteen artists who have been attracting attention in Japan and abroad will present their cherry blossom works. Come and experience the arrival of a new spring through these cherry blossom-filled works that herald the arrival of spring.
