construction fence, creating new value for the area. This
community-participation art project will feature Nagi Yoshida, who has previously highlighted and expressed the charm of diverse individuals such as ethnic minorities and drag queens from around the world. He will photograph people who live, work, and visit Shibuya in the city. By featuring people with ties to Shibuya as subjects, the project aims to provide an opportunity to rediscover the charm of the city and its connections to the community, even as Shibuya undergoes ongoing development and change. The first wave will showcase approximately 10 works featuring unique individuals with roots in Shibuya, including hip-hop activist Zeebra, who serves as a tourism ambassador for the Shibuya Tourism Association, promoting the charms of the area. After that, we will photograph those selected by the organizers from the general public submission process, which began on October 16th. The second wave of works will be exhibited in stages from late November. Approximately 20 works are expected to be exhibited in total. The photography of those who submitted their submissions through the general submission process will be held as part of the DESIGNART TOKYO 2025 design and art festival, which will run from Friday, October 31st to Sunday, November 9th. ● Overview of this project Project name BAG@Shibuya 2-Chome Street Gallery Exhibition Location 12-2, Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, and other locations (former site of Token International Building and Token Nagai Building) Period October 31, 2025 – April 30, 2026 (planned) * The second wave of works is scheduled to be displayed sequentially from late November 2025. * The exhibition period is currently tentative.

BAG has held 25 exhibitions over the past four years, with the consistent theme of “life and art.” Tokyo Tatemono operates the “Brillia” condominium brand, which offers each customer “personalized richness” through their home and lifestyle. Because architecture, design, and interior design are creative activities, we believe that various artworks hold the potential to enrich our lives. BAG has served as a base for embodying Tokyo Tatemono’s approach to art. Due to the redevelopment of the Kyobashi 3-Chome East District, including the Tokyo Tatemono Kyobashi Building where the gallery is located, the gallery will no longer be held in Kyobashi. Going forward, rather than maintaining a specific gallery space, the gallery will continue to develop as a
“site-specific gallery,” changing exhibition locations for each project and exploring artworks and exhibition methods that are suited to the characteristics of each location. Official website:

This year’s theme is “Brave ~The Pursuit of Instinct Beauty~.” Works from around the world that pursue the “instinctive beauty” sought after at this time of transition will gather in Tokyo. This event, which allows visitors to enjoy a stroll around the city while touring each exhibition, will be held again this year in seven areas of Tokyo as a “gateway to excitement” for many people, including visitors, as it not only allows them to experience the latest creations, but also allows them to encounter and be moved by creators and works, experience the chemical reactions that arise from this, and even have the opportunity to purchase works that they like.
