Ippodo Gallery’s mission is to share empathy with the world and create global conversations through the experience of Japanese culture. We continue to showcase work that adheres to our mission to pursue the beauty of nature, with a sense of global consciousness for the fragility of the environment and the strength of quiet serenity. Ippodo expresses gratitude for nature and the silent honour of daily life, marrying the worlds of Japanese reverence and contemporary sensibility. As a result, Ippodo Gallery has worked directly with over 200 artists and has held thousands of exhibitions over the decades. Ippodo Gallery Tokyo was founded by Keiko Aono in 1996, with two locations in the heart of Ginza and the residential area of Gotenyama. Gallery spaces include tea ceremony rooms where many artists and friends gather, fostering connections. Second-generation Shoko Aono opened Ippodo Gallery in New York in 2008, continuing and expanding upon this belief overseas, and has since witnessed the impact of Japanese Kogei art in a western landscape. The result is timeless cross-culturalism and a love for art that transcends language.
