The space was originally built in 1868 as a warehouse and remains the embodiment of Edo architecture. It has miraculously survived two great fires, the huge earthquake of 1923, fire-bombing during the Second World War, and constant re-development, making it unique in downtown Tokyo. In 1997 this building was reopened as an art gallery with a cafe/bar space. Many artists and craftsmen have gathered to transform this space, giving it a new lease of life as a space for communication and cultural exchange. Various international collaborations, such as art exhibitions, music concerts, performances are presented here.
