A small gallery where wonderful encounters await, just a short distance from Yokohama Chinatown
Art Truth

This time, we visited "art Truth," a gallery that has quietly opened in a very quiet location, which is hard to believe is in a corner of Yokohama Chinatown, which is bustling with tourists.

This small gallery, based on the concept of "works you'll want to display close to you" and "paintings you can enjoy living with," displays art pieces carefully selected by the owner, Nishiumi, from a variety of genres, with a focus on paintings.

Soft sunlight pours in through the large windows at the front, making the white-based gallery a warmer, more comfortable space.

There are also tables and chairs available, so you can relax and enjoy conversations with the artists and Nishiumi while admiring the beautiful artworks.

When I visited "art Truth" for this interview, artist Kaori Nagayoshi's solo exhibition "Device for Dreaming" was being held. This was her fourth exhibition at the gallery. The artist's hand-made prints and ceramics were lined up as if to welcome visitors.

This is gallery owner Nishiumi-san, who spoke about his thoughts on "art Truth."

"Our gallery is also working to support and nurture young artists, but what we value most is that it is a place where not only artists, but also our customers, and of course myself, can all learn and grow through art," says Nishiumi. "For example, just like when you're feeling down and you want to quietly read a book by yourself, I would be happy if you could come here and encounter a work that will cheer you up and nourish your soul. I would like to continue introducing more and more works like this that you will want to keep close by and cherish forever."

Enjoy delicious food in Chinatown, go shopping in Motomachi...it would be wonderful to wander in and encounter art that will enrich your daily life. We encourage everyone to come and visit "art Truth" in search of a wonderful encounter.
