Asakusa is a renovation project and private gallery space for contemporary art programs, developed in collaboration between architect Kosaku Matsumoto (Blue Architects, Zurich) and curator Koichiro Osaka (SCAI The Bathhouse, Tokyo). The residential property was built in 1965 in Asakusa, one of Tokyo’s most bustling tourist districts, and is located steps away from busy streets in a secluded area where 20 households are set side-by-side and back-to-back, forming a discreet colony.
