APT on the hill / Gallery Kojima

Gallery Kojima is a gallery located in Kokubunji.
The representative Toshio Kojima is a grandson of Japanese oil painter Zenzaburo KOJIMA (1893−1962) . After studying at Nihonbashi Gallery that was run by his uncle Kojima Tetsuo, he opened Gallery Kojima in Aoyama in1981. After that, the gallery was moved to Ginza in 1997, and to Roppongi in 2004, and then to “APT on the hill” in 2014.
We mainly deal in the works of Japanese modern and contemporary artists such as “Zenzaburo Kojima” “Hiroki Oda” “Ryonosuke Fukui” “Tomio Miki” “Fukumi Shimura” and more. Also, we deal in the art crafts such as the Japanese and various tribal antique textiles. We collect and sell the venturous works of all ages and countries on the basis of our concept “Esprit Sauvage (Spirit of Wild)”. We hold exhibitions of our collection several times a year.

“APT on the hill” was built in 2014 where there used to be the studio of Zenzaburo KOJIMA (an oil painter 1893 - 1962), for providing people for great encounters with art. This place is named after “Apartment on the hill” which used to neighbor on, with an acronym of “Art, Perspective, and Textile”.
The building of “APT on the hill” itself is an architectural work named “Totan-no-Ie” by Terunobu FUJIMORI (an architect 1946 -). Its exterior is covered with galvanized steel plate like scaly pattern, and the interior is finished with plaster and woods, which let every visitors enjoy its texture and the atmosphere, and you can also enjoy “chocolate-house” by T.Fujimori neighboring to APT. Gallery Kojima and cooperating artists gives various exhibitions and events at APT on the hill as the main base so that everyone can become familiar with art.
