While this is a lovely facility in an upscale neighborhood, I was disappointed on three counts. The first seems to be rather common to Japan, the prohibition of photographing exhibitions. I would have liked to have taken an image or two for this blog. I’ve been to exhibits that actually encourage the taking and sharing of images on social media as a form of free advertisement. It makes for a more interactive experience of art than simply acting as a passive consumer/viewer. Secondly, there is no permanent display. Apparently there used to be, but it was long ago removed. And lastly, there was no display during my visit of Japanese photography. Fortunately, I found an excellent exhibit of a Japanese photographer -- photography permitted -- at Gallery 916.
