    tHE GALLERY HARAJUKU

    We have opened a new gallery “tHE GALLERY HARAJUKU” in Harajuku.
    Why?　I answer before you ask me why.
    I believe that art is essentially about sharing values, similar to a religion.
    The artist’s work (values) is the principle, and people who identify with it resonate with the work’s worldview.
    The act of increasing the number of believers is what I consider to be art.
    I am sorry if you say it is different, but that is how I see it.
    The job of a curator exists to convey this principle.
    And the gallery is the main sanctuary.
    However, the curation I do is a bit habitual, and I am very strict about access to the main sanctuary.
    What is a habit?　If you want to know, please visit the gallery.
    I’m going to start proselytizing to you with my best fundamentalists.
    There are very few galleries that have a habit, if you think about it.
    This is the reason why I dare to open a gallery now.
    It’s because I have a strong habit.
    Sometimes you are right, and sometimes you are wrong, depending on who you are.
    The range is very large.
    That is why I believe I can introduce you to principles that you have never seen or felt before.
