Bakurocho
Bakurocho. It used to be known mainly for its textile wholesalers, but these days the old office spaces and warehouses are being reborn as galleries.
Bakurocho is now the beating heart of the Tokyo art scene, and a magnet for young creators. What makes Bakurocho special?
Galleries in Bakurocho (4 min. 42 sec. )
This is Bakurocho, just four minutes by train from Tokyo Station.
The area has long been home to wholesalers, mainly in the clothing trade.
Bakurocho is known for galleries specializing in contemporary art.
Galleries in Bakurocho 2 (4 min. 29 sec. )
This converted commercial building serves as an incubator for the Bakurocho art scene.
On the first floor, there is always an exhibit of work by an artist associated with the gallery.
The building also hosts other shops besides the galleries. Some sell little knickknacks and clothes. There are about 10 shops in all.
Galleries in Yanagibashi (6 min. 18 sec. )
Just across the river from Bakurocho is Yanagibashi, a former geisha district.
This is the former home of a geisha which has been remodeled into a gallery.
It's been over a decade since the last geisha vanished from Yanagibashi. Owner Akiko Yoneyama wanted to keep the run-down house from being demolished, to preserve a legacy of those times. So she turned it into a gallery.
Artist community and cafeteria (5 min. 36 sec. )
Finally, Ishibashi brings Felicia back to Bakurocho, to a spot where creative types congregate.
The dining room opens at around seven o'clock, Monday through Friday. People working in the building make the meals. Anyone can eat there for 500 to 700 yen.
