SHUKADO+SCENA

Founded in 2003 in Ginza, Tokyo—widely regarded as the center of Japan’s art world and one of its most distinguished gallery districts—SHUKADO has inherited the tradition of Japan’s established art dealers.
From traditional Japanese art, culture, and crafts to the innovative practices of contemporary artists, we seek out enduring values that transcend time and preserve them for future generations.

In August 2022, we launched GALLERY SCENA, a space dedicated to contemporary art.
Contemporary art challenges existing perspectives and introduces new ways of seeing the world, driven by fresh sensibilities and creative energy.
Through carefully curated exhibitions featuring artists from Japan and abroad, as well as presentations of historically significant avant-garde movements, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue between the past and the present.

While focusing on discovering and promoting emerging Japanese artists, we also introduce internationally active contemporary artists to audiences in Japan.
By connecting collectors, artists, and institutions across borders, we strive to serve as a bridge between Japan and the global art community.
