Gallery made in Koganecho
Gallery Made in Koganecho, which opened in January 2017 in the Koganecho area, is a three-minute walk from Hinodecho Station on the Keikyu Line. Operated by the Koganecho Area Management Center, an NPO that promotes urban development through art, the gallery permanently exhibits the works of artists who have been involved in Koganecho activities to help more people learn about them. But what really catches your eye is its location! It's located under the elevated tracks of the Keikyu Line, which runs overhead!


Now, let's go into the gallery!
The spacious interior features white walls partitioned by iron pillars, displaying a variety of works including photographs, paintings, and sculptures (admission is free for the permanent exhibition). You can admire the works from a little distance, or get up close and carefully examine the details... It's a very comfortable, private space that invites you to compare the various pieces and find the one that moves you.
All exhibited works are for sale, so if you find something you like, you can buy it on the spot. If you want to know more about this artist, just talk to the gallery staff and they will tell you about their activities and other works.
In fact, this "gallery made in Koganecho" is located at the top of the stairs outside, and is an interesting space that makes use of the unique environment under the elevated railway. Located just below the train tracks, where you would feel the vibrations of a passing train, a wooden walkway has been set up, creating a space large enough for people to walk through. This area is usually closed off, but it is sometimes opened to exhibit artworks during special exhibitions. It seems like it would be fun to experience the art while indulging in a sense of adventure in this limited space that is invisible to those walking outside.
Outside, you'll find public art displayed in the form of show windows, using glass doors so that passersby can naturally come into contact with the art. This is a sight that is unique to Koganecho, where art and the town are truly one. The doors are locked so you can't go inside, but even a peek at the art is sure to excite the hearts of those who see it. If you're strolling around the area under the elevated tracks between Hinodecho and Koganecho, don't miss it!
