This is a base for art and artists, utilizing the main house and storehouse of a rice shop from the early Showa period. The first floor is a gallery and sales space that can be used for exhibitions with different atmospheres, featuring an earthen floor, storehouse, and tatami mats. The second floor has a kitchen, toilet, studio, culture room, office, etc. Since its founding in 2006, we have been creating projects that allow for the creation of even newer art using actual historical buildings, and have been supporting everyone, regardless of disability, to enjoy art together.
As the building dates back to the early Showa period, we strive to create projects that incorporate Japanese seasons and events. Last year, we held a celebration for the building's 88th anniversary, and the support we received from our neighbors made us realize our role and responsibility in the community. We hope to continue our work so that art is recognized as something important in today's life and as an expression of the heart that we want to preserve.
