Based on the ground floor of an early 1950s half-timbered building, blending Japanese and English style, in Kagurazaka, Tokyo Ayumi Gallery is an exhibition space open to the proposals of artists and independent curators.
Since its opening in 1984, Ayumi Gallery has been a popular space for artists to present their work, whilst adding to the color of the local Kagurazaka district. The building was constructed in 1953, shortly after World War II, by Hiroshi Takahashi (1902-1991) as his atelier. Takahashi studied architecture in the UK from the late Taisho period to the early Showa period (1920-1930), the distinct architectural style of the building reflecting this influence.
In 2011, the building was designated as an official cultural property  by the Japanese government, recognizing it as an important part of Japanese architectural history. The inside of the building has exposed beams and surfaces showcasing the natural materials used in construction, creating a warm, comfortable environment throughout the exhibition space.
Creators and audiences are welcome to come together in this space to share and inspire new discoveries.

The museum of avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama was established by the artist herself in 2017 with the aim of promoting Kusama's art and contributing to the development of art in general through the exhibition of her work and related materials. Exhibitions are held approximately twice a year. In addition to exhibiting the collection of Kusama's works, lectures and other events are also held. The mission is to convey to the world at large the message of "world peace" and "human love" that Kusama has repeatedly appealed for through her works.
