In 2002, the Pola Museum of Art was established in Hakone, Kanagawa. Since its opening, the Pola Museum of Art has been based on the concept of "symbiosis between the nature of Hakone and art”. In consideration of the nature and landscape of Hakone, the building is kept at a height of 8 meters above the ground and much of the building is underground so that it seems to blend in with the forest. The exhibition rooms are equipped with uniquely developed lighting to allow visitors to appreciate the individual works of art. The late Tsuneji Suzuki, the second generation of Pola's founding family, collected a collection of approximately 10,000 pieces over a period of more than 40 years. The collection encompasses a wide range of items, including Western paintings, Japanese Western paintings, Japanese paintings, prints, Oriental ceramics, glass art, and cosmetic tools from all over the world. Excellent artwork, rich nature, and light-filled architectural spaces... The philosophy of "symbiosis" is alive and well in every aspect of the museum.

The eukaryote refers to one of the two major domains of living organisms, which in Latin means "that which has a real nucleus."

Just as organisms that emerged two billion years ago have repeatedly evolved and gone extinct, art has also repeatedly undergone internal metabolism.

At Eukaryote, we will actively promote works and artists that have universal value, the essence of the modern tangible and intangible, which have been spun since the emergence of art.

The Taro Okamoto Museum of Art, Kawasaki was created to trace the footsteps of Taro Okamoto's activities and to share his artistry and ideas.

The museum is based on the concept of a "hands-on museum" where visitors can enjoy the combination of the rich nature of Ikuta Ryokuchi and art, and where they can enjoy Taro Okamoto's and other works of art with all their senses in the city's largest green space, allowing them to experience nature and Taro Okamoto's creative energy in each of the four seasons.

As for the museum's exhibition programs, the museum holds permanent exhibitions throughout the year to introduce "the art of Taro Okamoto and his parents, Ippei and Kanoko," special exhibitions with the themes of "deeper recognition" of Taro Okamoto's art, "relationships with surrounding artists and the times," and "the relationship between art and society," and the Taro Okamoto Award for Contemporary Art (Taro Award), an open competition to discover artists who will lead the next generation.

In addition to the above, the museum is engaged in the preservation and collection of artworks, survey and research projects such as archiving of materials, educational programs for children and adults, and the dissemination of information on Okamoto's art both in Japan and abroad through various media.

The area around Ikuta Ryokuchi is also home to the Kawasaki Municipal Japanese Minkaen, the Kawasaki Science Museum, and the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum, all of which are popular among citizens as nature and culture zones in Kawasaki.

Blum & Poe was founded by Timothy Blum and Jeffrey Poe in Santa Monica in September of 1994 as a space to show local and international contemporary art in all media. Blum’s extensive experience in the Japanese art world combined with Poe’s keen knowledge of emerging artists in Los Angeles, together resulted in an international program of influential artists. Throughout a twenty six year history, Blum & Poe has shaped the trajectory of contemporary art by championing artists at all stages of their careers—cultivating the lineages that run between emerging and established practices, and working with artist estates to generate new discourse surrounding historical work.

In 2003 the gallery moved to a larger space in Culver City, and in 2009 Blum & Poe purchased and renovated its current 22,000 square foot complex on La Cienega Boulevard. In this location the gallery has since held museum caliber surveys, examining the historical work of such movements as the Japanese Monoha school (2012); the Korean Dansaekhwa monochrome painters (2014); the European postwar movement CoBrA (2015); Japanese art of 1980s and '90s (2019); a rereading of Brazilian Modernism(2019); and a revisionist take on the 1959 MoMA exhibition, New Images of Man(2020). To　produce these exhibitions, Blum & Poe has worked with celebrated curators such as Joan Kee, Mika Yoshitake, Sofia Gotti, and Alison M. Gingeras.

In 2014, Blum & Poe opened galleries in New York and Tokyo to focus on intimately scaled projects in tandem with an expansive prog ram of exhibitions, lectures, performance series, screenings, and an annual art book fair at its base in Los Angeles. In 2015, Blum & Poe was certified as an Arts:Earth Partnership (AEP) green art gallery and consequently became one of the first green certified galleries in the United States. Blum & Poe’s own publishing division focuses on sharing aspects of its program via original scholarship and accessible media ranging from academic monographs, audio series, magazines, and artists’ books. In 2020, the gallery launched Blum & Poe Broadcasts, an online platform showcasing artists’ projects in conjunction with physical installations or as standalone digital endeavors.

The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art (Shinagawa, Tokyo; opened in 1979, closed in January 2021) and its annex, Hara Museum ARC (Shibukawa, Gunma; opened in 1988), both of which specialize in contemporary art, were combined and opened in April 2021. The collection includes contemporary art from around the world since the 1950s, as well as early modern Japanese paintings, crafts, and Chinese art. The work in the collection is exhibited and shown several times a year.

The architecture is by Arata Isozaki. Gallery A, with its impressive pyramidal roof that echoes the peaks of Mt. Haruna, and Galleries B and C, which are inspired by the stables of the adjacent farm, are neat spaces where contemporary artwork can be displayed. On the other hand, Kankai-an, which was added in 2008 and was inspired by the Shoin style of the former Nikko-in Kyakuden of Mitsui-ji Temple (Sonjo-ji Temple) in Shiga Prefecture, is a tranquil Japanese-style space where the skills of master craftsmen shine throughout the interior, and where visitors can enjoy the diverse expressions of beauty that transcend time and region.

Visitors can also enjoy strolling in the spacious garden while viewing outdoor work by domestic and international artists such as Andy Warhol and Olafur Eliasson.

Opened in October of 2018, Anomaly is a contemporary art gallery.
The word “anomaly” refers to an event or individual that cannot be explained by orthodoxy or common sense, a deviation.
The gallery not only follows the gallery system imported from Europe and America, but also advocates anomalous activities that fit the state of contemporary art in Asia and Japan.
Through repeated research and dialogue, the gallery organizes not only exhibitions, but also talk sessions, performances, and plays.

Compared to Europe, which swayed the global art scene with its diverse viewpoints coexisting within swiftly changing currents, from the perspective of art history, Japan in many ways lacks such players and the places to bring them organically together. In an art scene easily influenced by economic conditions, galleries such as αM run as non-profits by universities are in a position to produce such places and people of talent, fulfilling a unique role in Japanese art.

Gallery αM grants opportunities for new expressive values and works by young artists and encourages innovative curators capable of bringing novel values into society. With these two concepts, it hopes to create a new history by a new space.

Photo Gallery International, founded by Sata Corporation as part of its corporate cultural programs initially at Toranomon, Tokyo, is one of the few galleries specializing in fine art photography in Japan. Since its opening in 1979, the gallery has been introducing outstanding photographers worldwide. Its activities were expanded in 1990 with the opening of P.G.I. Shibaura, annex gallery with accessory shop, at Shibaura. When the gallery at Toranomon was compelled to move, owing to a new governmental land relocation program, these two facilities were integrated and a new gallery was opened in September, 2000, to continue its activities under the traditional name of Photo Gallery International at the site of Shibaura. In October 2015, moved to Higashi Azabu.
