Kyoto, which boasts a thousand-year history, has nurtured a special art scene where tradition and innovation intersect. There are many attractive places for presentations unique to Kyoto, such as gallery spaces utilizing prestigious temples and shrines and townhouses, and exhibition spaces renovated from historic brick buildings. The explosive increase in foreign visitors to Japan in recent years has expanded opportunities for works to catch the eye of overseas art fans. We support holding solo exhibitions in a city where the Japanese sense of beauty lives.
