Wade Guyton: Drawings for Tokyo
February 7 – 28, 2025
We are delighted to present Wade Guyton: Drawings for Tokyo as the next exhibition for our Ginza Curator’s Room.
The Ginza Curator’s Room program welcomes different curators each time who will create “rooms” that introduce new perspectives and modes of seeing, reflecting their unique points of view. Ginza is a place where in the old days the Kano school of painters maintained their workshops, and cultural figures have gathered here since the Meiji era. We look forward to welcoming you to Ginza, a continuous springboard of ever-rejuvenating fashions.

Saga House
Saga House is our art-in-residence program in the heart of Sagano, an area in Kyoto famed for its scenic views and its deep connection to Japanese culture.
Sagano became the place of origin of the classical poem anthology Hyakunin isshu (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets) when the Heian-period courtier Fujiwara no Sadaie selected poems by one hundred of the most celebrated waka poets, one poem each, to write them in graceful calligraphy on shikishi paper and adorn his mountain retreat in Saga’s Ogurayama district.
In tangible and intangible ways, Sadaie’s unique anthology continues to influence the life of the Japanese people to the present day.
The people of Kyoto, who cherish their traditional culture like nowhere else in Japan, at the same time embrace a progressive spirit that nourishes on new cultural developments in Japan and abroad, and aim to to develop such influences further into something of their own.
Our concept of Wanobi—the Beauty of Japan—is born in this area.
We are looking forward to welcoming creative spirits to these surroundings of Kyoto and Sagano, hoping to inspire timeless art that fuses the old with the new, reveals hidden beauty and spurs ideas and ambition.
