GALLERY UTSUROBUNE was established in 2022 by director Maie Murase after working at galleries in Tokyo and Gifu. The gallery independently organizes and sells works 52 weeks a year (except for New Year's Day) at its space in Nagoya's Sakae Mitsukoshi department store.
This Gallery has been exhibiting with the desire to leave a place for young artists and artists with ties to the Tokai region to exhibit their work in Sakae.
In 2023, the gallery will expand its exhibitions to department stores and art fairs in Kanto as well as Nagoya.
Like the unidentified flying object "Utsurobune," which surprised people in the Edo period and was unintentionally depicted in ukiyoe woodblock prints, we aim to exhibit Japanese artists in various locations in Japan and abroad.
