5 minutes walking from the busy Shinjuku station, near The Shinjuku National Park, hides APARTMENT HOTEL SHINJUKU, a former Japanese inn, rebuilt in the early 70ies, and renovated in 2010 to become the hotel we know today.

While keeping the 70ies period characteristic red roof tiles, the entire inside has been redone, each and every room with its own design, and ideas to improve the guest`s stay have been worked on since then.

Apart from just being a hotel, the building also hosts a Shop Space and a Lounge Space which allows a lot of different people such as, of course, the hotel and shop customers, people relaxing at the Lounge or art amateurs enjoying an exhibition or a live event to meet in this peculiar environment.

The history of "mograg" dates back in 2008. We, the owner/director Motoko Ohta and the painter oki-chu., decided to open up our own garage to the public in Kokubunji, Tokyo, in order to hold exhibitions. We called this tiny space "mograg garage", then it soon became like an artist community.

In 2015, we moved to Shin-okachimachi, Tokyo, made a new start as "mograg gallery". We hold/direct exhibitions basically with 2-dimensional works of artists whose style is beyond the genre or the way of expressions are uncategorized. Producing merchandises is actively going on as well.

We call the artworks that are shown in here "the Japanese Lowbrow Art".

Mono.Logues is an alternative space comprised of two elements, a viewing room term when artworks are on display all the time, and a project term utilized for exhibitions.
We welcome the interaction of autonomous individuals, like artists and curators in and out of Japan who hold their own values of the standard, and try to realize its phenomenon in the project term. Our aim is to develop a unique and specific culture from this alternative space, having a clear grasp of a horizontal line of the same times and a vertical line of Art history.

Equine Museum of Japan was established by the Japan Racing Association in 1977 within the Negishi Horse Racing Memorial Park, which commemorates the birth of Western-style horse racing that began in Yokohama in the 1860s, and is currently operated by the Equestrian Culture Foundation. The museum has been collecting, surveying, researching, and exhibiting artifacts nurtured by the interaction between horses and people in the fields of natural history, history, folklore, arts and crafts, and horse racing. The museum's collection consists of 15,000 items.

In addition to thoroughbreds and ponies, the Pony Center, which is also attached to the museum, cares for native horses, which are an ancient breed in Japan, and allows visitors to watch them graze and be ridden. The center passes down the role and appeal of horses to future generations through materials that prove the close relationship humans have had with horses as partners over the years.

Galerie Shimon opened as a contemporary art gallery in 1987. Focusing on young and mid-career artists from Japan and Asia, it holds six to eight exhibitions a year, introducing a wide range of contemporary artists. It also rents space to promising young artists.

The gallery’s principles are rooted in representing artists with a perpetual interest in how art interacts with society while living in the same era as its young artists.

Galerie Shimon believes originality, excellent technique, clear concepts and message, a refined spirit, and purity of expression are all necessary in a work of art. History, the era, and the economy all influence the creation of art, but in any age, art is something made by humans. It is an expression of the human spirit. The gallery believes people naturally have a strong interest in and desire for art that makes life more sophisticated and fulfilled. It hopes to assist artists who continually strive to improve.

The Meguro Art Museum opened in November 1987 in a corner of the lush greenery of Meguro Kumin Center. In the midst of Tokyo's abundance of exhibitions and information, the museum functions as a familiar art museum in the community, a place to relax and enjoy art, and a place for urbanites to rediscover themselves through the medium of art. Although this museum is only a modest space inserted into the metropolis, we believe that it is also a window to an infinite universe of imagination and sensitivity. 

Meguro Museum of Art collects modern and contemporary works of art by Japanese artists and presents them to the public through exhibitions of the museum's collection, as well as actively organizing special exhibitions that capture the diverse trends of art in Japan and abroad. Workshops that focus on beauty in daily life and the origins, materials, and techniques of artworks are also a major feature of the museum as a new attempt to combine exhibitions with hands-on activities. In addition, we have established the residents' gallery as an accessible space for rental, which is widely used by the public. Through these activities, the Meguro Museum of Art aims to be known as a museum that is always full of freshness and charm to the local community and beyond.
