Gallery KOCHUKYO

ご挨拶

ギャラリーこちゅうきょは1987年（昭和62年）、東洋古美術を扱う壺中居の近現代部門として独立し、東京・日本橋の箔屋町ビル（廣田豊設計）二階に開廊いたしました。

以来、近現代作家による美術工芸作品（陶芸・金属・ガラス・漆など）を中心に取り扱い、美を追求した品位ある作品の紹介に努めてまいりました。

企画展やアートフェアにおいては、作家との関係を深めながら独自の視点によるテーマを設け、さまざまな展覧会を企画・開催してまいりました。

「箔屋町」とは、当ギャラリー所在地が幕末まで呼ばれていた旧地名です。日本橋の街並みが日々変化を遂げるなか、私たちは歴史とともに歩むこの地から、次代へ受け継がれるべき新たな美術工芸の魅力を発信してまいります。 

Gallery Kochukyo was established in 1987 as the contemporary art department of Kochukyo, a gallery specializing in Asian antiques. It opened on the second floor of the Hakuyacho Building (designed by Yutaka Hirota) in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.

Since its foundation, the gallery has been committed to focusing on modern and contemporary craft-based artworks, including ceramics, metalwork, glass, and lacquer.

We have been devoted to presenting works of refined aesthetic quality and continually striving to introduce pieces that embody a high standard of beauty.

Through curated exhibitions and participation in art fairs, we have been committed to building close relationships with artists and developing exhibitions based on original thematic perspectives, while continuing to present a diverse range of projects.

“Hakuyacho” refers to the historical name of the area where the gallery is located, a name that was used until the end of the Edo period. As the cityscape of Nihonbashi continues to evolve, we remain committed to this historically rich location, sharing the enduring appeal of craft-based art that we believe should be passed on to future generations.
