A little while ago, the Mori Yu Gallery opened in Tokyo and other galleries in the Kagurazaka building changed location.

As previously reported here, the Kodama Gallery and the Yamamoto Gendai moved to Shirokane, where Takahashi Collection also opened its second space.

The Mori Yu Gallery has moved into the space previously occupied by the Kodama Gallery, operating as a sister branch to its existing space in Kyoto, where it has been established since 2001.

Yuka Sasahara Gallery has moved into Yamamoto Gendai’s former space.

Here there is also a group show on display. This new space is larger than their previous one.

Takahashi Collection continues to hold a space in this building (open only on Saturdays). It is currently showing work by Akira Yamaguchi, Yasuyuki Nishio, Motohiko Odani and others.

In the building opposite, the Gallery Atlantico has also reopened. It is currently exhibiting works by Ayako Kawano.
