Gallery

Honda Artists Studio, known as Honda Kobo in Japanese, is a shared collective creative and cultural space built out of a former Showa-era kimono clothing store building which was refurbished and retrofitted by members of the local and creative communities. The first floor houses the streetside gallery.
Based in Shiogama City on the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, Honda Kobo, opened in 2023, was built out of a shared common initiative to bring new life to Shiogama’s historical neighborhood of Kitahama, especially after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.

Based in Shiogama City on the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, Birdo Space has been a venue where people and art converge, not only to provide a place to showcase art but also to give value and meaning to art itself and its existence.

Since opening in 2006 as part of the Birdo Flugas project, the gallery has held a variety of art exhibitions, workshops, and events by a diverse array of artists and creatives from both within Japan and abroad, building connections, fostering networks, and forging bonds between artists and the community at large.

In Sendai, many literary figures were born, lived, or spent their youth, and many have made outstanding contributions to the history of literature. In addition to collecting and preserving the works of these and other local literary figures, the Sendai Literature Museum aims to provide access to modern literary materials that tend to be scattered and lost, as a public asset, and to pass them on to future generations via research, exhibitions, and other activities.

Community Center

mv 01

The Shiogama Sugimura Jun Museum of Art opened to the public in November 2014, following the renovation of the Motomachi branch of the Shiogama City Community Center. The location has served as a community space since 1950, creating opportunities for many people to connect over the years. The building has a beautiful auditorium with a 9.7m tall laminated timber frame. The exterior facade is also made of locally-sourced Shiogama stone, contributing to its value as a designated cultural asset.

The space doubles as a museum and a community center, and has engaged locals by hosting cultural activities for decades. It also serves to commemorate the accomplishments and preserve the history and memory of the people of Shiogama.

In order to maximize the museum’s architectural and cultural value, we provide an accessible space to foster creativity and openness through various art related programs. These include special exhibitions, music events and workshops for local youth and adults.

Colloquium is a new non-profit artist-run space will open in April 2022 in Sendai, Japan.
Since 2013, Colloquium has been a round table on topics of culture, art and society in general, and has so far organized a number of events with artists working in the Kanto region.

We are pleased to announce that we will run a space as a centre for artistic practice and experimentation in the city of Sendai. Through exhibitions of diverse artists from Japan and abroad, introductions of their activities and round tables with exhibiting artists, the space aims to be open to all those interested in the arts.
