In 2018, a newly founded art gallery fused with an accounting office in Bakurocho, Tokyo to form the Kiyoyuki Kuwabara Accounting Gallery (KKAG).

The word “Accounting” is included in the name of the gallery as it is a word that not only means “to account” but also “to explain”. For business owners, it is important for them to objectively “explain” using numbers so that investors would “understand” how their business plan adds value to their company. Similarly, artists need to increase the value of their work by drawing an “understanding” from observers and buyers by objectively “explaining” to them the value and context of their work. This process of “explaining” and “understanding” is known as “dialogue”. This gallery provides a space for artists and related parties (stakeholders) to engage in earnest “dialogue”, which we hope will become an art incubator that creates new value.
