It is a base for art and artists, using the main house and internal structure of a rice shop from the early Showa period. The first floor is a gallery and sales space with a dirt floor, storehouse and tatami mats, allowing for different types of exhibitions. The second floor has a kitchen, toilet, atelier, culture room, office, etc. Since its founding in 2006, it has been creating plans to create even more new art using the historical building, and supporting everyone to enjoy art together, regardless of whether they have a disability or not.
Because the building dates back to the early Showa period, we aim to plan events that take advantage of the seasons and events that are uniquely Japanese. Last year, we held a 88th birthday celebration for the building, and received support from the local community, which really brought home to us the role and role we play in the community. We would like to continue to make art recognized as something important in modern life, and as an expression of the heart that we want to preserve.
