Description

A Lighthouse called Kanata pursues the reevaluation of contemporary Japanese art in the 21st century, thereby expanding the boundaries of contemporary art from a diversified, multi-ethnic perspective. Through the innovation of aesthetic traditions, Kanata focuses on abstract paintings and sculptures by both Japanese and international artists, reimagining beauty through an emphasis on materiality and technical excellence. The Tokyo gallery hosts multiple exhibitions as well as participating at major fairs throughout the world, while further enriching its program with publications that capture both emerging and established artists. Kanata also partners with leading international institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum (NY), the V&A (London), and the Rockbund and Long Museums (Shanghai), among others, creating critical platforms for the recognition of the gallery’s aesthetic. Kanata has moved into its own dedicated 4-story building in October 2025 designed by Yoshiyuki Moriyama, with interiors conceived by the rising design duo I IN.
