History
Since opening in Tokyo in 1996, Ippodo Gallery has consistently introduced outstanding works of contemporary Japanese art-crafts. With the opening of its first overseas gallery in Chelsea, New York in 2008, Ippodo Gallery New York has held 7 to 8 exhibitions and events per year, to promote works that capture the imagination of people worldwide. Through our endeavors, a large number of pieces by our artists have found new homes throughout the world. Since 2013, we have relocated to the Upper East Side and have consolidated a new business structure. With an unwavering commitment to bringing the highest quality works directly from their Japanese sources, we plan to showcase these on a global-scale.
