Transition of Diversity by Ginza Galleries

Established in 1988, we opened our gallery in 2006 in Ginza, the current location. Since then, we have held many exhibitions, mainly solo exhibitions of artists who express the contemporary without being influenced only by trends. We introduce art that moves us regardless of genres, such as paintings (oil, Japanese-style) and sculptures.

Founded by my father in 1971 and opened a gallery in Ginza in 1973. With the concept of “disseminating excellent Japanese art to domestic and international audiences from Japan of the world, Ginza of Tokyo in Japan,” we started weekly YouTube videos along with exhibitions at the gallery, and this year started a bilingual version of “Nippon Art Program” once a month. As well as presenting exhibitions such as those of Hiroshi Senju, a master of Japanese-style painting, Junji Kawashima, a highly acclaimed pioneer of new Japanese-style painting, and Yayoi Kusama, a master of contemporary art attracting worldwide attention, we are also discovering young and unknown artists by organizing “Open Call – Japanese Paintings.” In addition, we plan to develop projects of original Japanese art such as “Contemporary Prints,” “Contemporary Ink Painting,” and “Modern Calligraphy” along with YouTube videos from time to time.

Galerie Nichido was founded in 1928. As the oldest Western-style art dealer in Japan, Galerie Nichido has handled hundreds of artists, both deceased and existing, from Japan and abroad, mainly in the fields of oil paintings, sculptures, and prints. Based on the rich collection of materials it has accumulated since its founding, Galerie Nichido also publishes numerous catalogs and large art books to meet the diverse needs of collectors. In 1966, the company launched the Showa-kai, an annual contest established to promote young emerging artists, and in 2002 established nichido contemporary art (nca) as a gallery specializing in contemporary art. In addition, Galerie Nichido had established the Art Registration Committee to ensure the responsibility in the supply of artworks. The gallery also collects a wide range of the latest trends in the contemporary art world, both in Japan and abroad, and acts as a reliable partner for collectors.
