Announcement of The Nihonbashi/Kyobashi "Tokyo Art & Antiques":
View, Touch, and Learn in the District of Art and Antiques

The Organizing Committee of Tokyo Art & Antiques is pleased to announce that "Nihonbashi / Kyobashi Art and Antiques Festival" will be held for three days – from Thursday, April 24, to Saturday, April 26 – , in and around Tokyo's Nihonbashi and Kyobashi district. The event will involve art dealers, galleries, and department stores, introducing a wide range of art, from antique to contemporary.

Related programs will be held to coincide with "Tokyo Art & Antiques." Visitors will be able to enjoy gallery talks, workshops, auctions for beginners, reasonable sales, and more events at galleries, including long-established ones that were frequently visited by people such as Masako Shirasu and Yasunari Kawabata.

This event is scheduled in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi – places which are deeply connected with Japan's art history. By providing an opportunity for everyone, regardless of age or nationality, to become better acquainted with Japanese art and antiques, we hope to uphold the tradition of appreciating these works of arts in the future.
