We went a little preview today (Sunday, October 21), as we will lead the "Waku Waku Tour" industrial course on October 23.
On the day, we will gather in front of Sukiyabashi Park "Young Clock Tower". Sukiyabashi Park has been renovated and the feeling has changed slightly.
The first visit destination is "Yanagi Gallery" (Ginza 5-1-7 Sukiyabashi Building 3F). It is very close to Sukiyabashi Park and Yasuaki Elementary School, but it was closed on Sunday.
Founded in 1994, the company is engaged in operations such as "purchase and sale of art works in Japan and abroad, holding special exhibitions, consultation on the purchase and sale of art works, evaluation of art works, appraisal of artworks, etc." I am doing it. Through dialogue with those who come to the gallery, the goal is to learn from each other and contribute to the development of culture (according to the company's website).
The second visit is "Nichido Gallery" (Ginza 5-3-16). It's very close to the former Sony Building.
The former site of Sony Building is a park.
The Nichido Gallery was founded in 1928, and its business is "sale of art such as painting, exhibition planning, painting and other art appraisal". "As the oldest Western-style painter in Japan, there are hundreds of artists who handle oil paintings, sculptures, and prints, both domestic and foreign objects and existing ones.
In 1942, he published Morikazu Kumagai's art collections, followed by Takeji Fujishima and Tsuguji Fujita, and published numerous catalogs and large-scale art collections based on a wealth of materials to meet the diverse needs of collectors.
In 1966, he started the Showa-kai exhibition to foster young artists. In 2002, he founded nichido contemporary art (nca) as a gallery specializing in contemporary art. In addition, we have established the Art Registration Committee with the aim of supplying responsible works, collecting a wide range of latest trends in the contemporary art world both in Japan and overseas, and working as a reliable partner for collectors."
The third and last visit destination is Shiminedo Gallery (Ginza 6-9-4 Ginza Kosaka Building 4F). Founded in Osaka in 1977, the Ginza store was opened in 2009. The business consists of "sales of arts and crafts, sale of watches, jewelry, precious metals, accessories", and "handling works that have power as art even though they are being forgotten from masterpieces. I am trying to do it. Especially for artists who were active in the Meiji and Showa eras, I have a passion. The Ginza store is located on the 4th floor of a building facing the bustling Ginza street so that you can easily drop in. Please enjoy dialogue with the works of masters in a space where you can relax slowly. "(according to the company's website).
