With a focus on young creators, the gallery’s objective is to introduce artists who observe the world from unique perspectives and through their works express new ideas and concepts in diverse ways. To make the gallery a less intimidating place to enter, with the name “Waitingroom” evoking an informal gathering space, it strives to create an atmosphere in which art viewers, gallerists, and artists can converse together naturally.

Based on the ground floor of an early 1950s half-timbered building, blending Japanese and English style, in Kagurazaka, Tokyo Ayumi Gallery is an exhibition space open to the proposals of artists and independent curators.
Since its opening in 1984, Ayumi Gallery has been a popular space for artists to present their work, whilst adding to the color of the local Kagurazaka district. The building was constructed in 1953, shortly after World War II, by Hiroshi Takahashi (1902-1991) as his atelier. Takahashi studied architecture in the UK from the late Taisho period to the early Showa period (1920-1930), the distinct architectural style of the building reflecting this influence.
In 2011, the building was designated as an official cultural property  by the Japanese government, recognizing it as an important part of Japanese architectural history. The inside of the building has exposed beams and surfaces showcasing the natural materials used in construction, creating a warm, comfortable environment throughout the exhibition space.
Creators and audiences are welcome to come together in this space to share and inspire new discoveries.

Eisei-Bunko Museum has been open to the public since 1972, becoming a registered museum under the Museum Law in 1973. The building was constructed in the early Showa period as a housekeeping office for the former Marquis Hosokawa family. The museum's collection was donated by Moritatsu and Morisada Hosokawa and is exhibited to the public in four periods each year, focusing on artistic handicrafts.

We have held exhibitions such as Kumi Machida and Atsuhiko Misawa, Yoshitomo Nara, Wisut Ponnimit, Maya Maxx, O Jun, Takanori Kobayashi, Atsushi Suwa, etc. in conjunction with the publication of new prints. In addition to introducing artists such as Terry Winters, John Karin, and Kiki Smith, who are active on the front lines of the world, we are also focusing on the exhibition of young artists such as Katsuaki Shigeno, Tokuro Sakamoto, and Yusuke Tsuchiya. In this way, we are working to further enhance the gallery program while producing prints through the intimate collaboration between the print artist and the printmakers in our print studio.
In 2015, we moved from Kiyosumi Shirakawa.

Compared to Europe, which swayed the global art scene with its diverse viewpoints coexisting within swiftly changing currents, from the perspective of art history, Japan in many ways lacks such players and the places to bring them organically together. In an art scene easily influenced by economic conditions, galleries such as αM run as non-profits by universities are in a position to produce such places and people of talent, fulfilling a unique role in Japanese art.

Gallery αM grants opportunities for new expressive values and works by young artists and encourages innovative curators capable of bringing novel values into society. With these two concepts, it hopes to create a new history by a new space.

The aim of this space is to bring about a new context in Japanese art through themed exhibitions carefully curated from an editor’s point of view. It is vital in this difficult to grasp era to embrace the small possibilities expressed by artists, reaching as many people as possible.
