Valor lab is a gallery located in Nezu, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo that supports young contemporary artists. Ryoko SUDO, the representative of this gallery, is in charge of the curation based on her experience as a former  curator of Joshibi Art Museum of Joshibi University of Art and Design. Valor Lab has a café, and is an art space where you can talk about art with the exhibiting artists while enjoying home-roasted coffee, wine, and craft beer. Craft speakers by master craftsmen are always on display, and the sign says "valorlab, art, café, wine, music". The high-ceilinged store has good acoustics, and we also hold live music collaborations with contemporary artists and musicians.

Calligraphy Museum holds important collections of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy histories, which were collected by a Western-style painter and oriental calligrapher Fusetsu Nakamura (1866-1943) for more than 40 years, almost half his life.

Since its foundation in 1936, the museum had been maintained by the Nakamura family for 60 years, but it was donated to Taito City in 1995 and reopened as Taito City Calligraphy Museum in 2000.

Calligraphy Museum houses approximately 16,000 pieces of Chinese and Japanese fine arts such as bones and tortoise shells containing inscriptions from the Yin period, bronze ware, gemstone artifacts, ancient mirrors, decorative roof tile, ceramic jars, clay seals, stone seals, stone sutras, legal documents, Buddha statues, stone inscriptions, gravestone epitaphs, stationeries, rubbed copies of stone inscription, Buddhist sutras, and calligraphy textbooks. Twelve art pieces have been designated as Important Cultural Properties and five pieces as Art Treasures.

It is a art brewing gallery that stands quietly next to hand-baked rice crackers in Yanaka,Taito-ku. It is close to SCAI THE BATHHOUSE and Tokyo University of the Arts. We are working to bring the distance between art and life and the distance between artists and the world closer.
