 Interview with the Nakaochiai Gallery - TABlog
The Nakaochiai gallery, housed in a former kakigori and okashiya shop (Japanese shaved ice desert and cake shop), is tucked away in a serene, beautiful residential area of Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward.
Hearing stories from our landlord about how things in this area used to be, I think it’s definitely been a positive thing to bring this space that was dead back to life.
On the other hand, like anyone you have to make an effort: you have to invite people more because they may not know when we’re open or if a show is up or not, so it does rely on that more than people just dropping in.
