Management policy
photo by Hiroyoshi Ando

Good encounters with people enrich our lives. There are many good encounters in the world of beauty that will enhance our spirit.
Examining a painting means listening to the surprise, joy, or natural and cosmic feeling of a human being as the painter behind it. In that dialogue, you will at times be touched by the dignity of nature that is about to be encouraged or forgotten.

The activities of people called “arts”, in which life is born from the cracks of life and art is born from life and life, have existed with the history of humankind.
We would like to manage the gallery in the hope that we will be able to play a part in connecting art and art to the present age and the next generation.
