The art event "ARIGATO SAKURAGAOKA produced by ART PHOTO TOKYO," bringing together over 30 artists, will be held from November 16th to December 2nd at the former site of Yamaha Electone City Shibuya, which will be demolished at the end of 2018 as part of the redevelopment of Shibuya, Tokyo.

Shibuya is a global cultural hub. This event will bring together works by over 30 artists in an entire building at the former site of Yamaha Electone City Shibuya in Sakuragaoka-cho, which will be demolished at the end of 2018 as part of the redevelopment.

With gratitude to the city of Shibuya, both past and future, for an admission fee of just 1,000 yen, you can enjoy and even purchase a wide variety of works that freely cross generations and cultures, from fine art centered on photography to works by artists representing new-age culture, including Kishin Shinoyama, Leslie Kee, HIROMIX, Jiro Konami, and YOSHIROTTEN, making this a truly Shibuya-esque art event.

Works from the "Love Kiki Kirin" photo exhibition held in Nara Prefecture in September, photographed by Leslie Kee, will be exhibited in Tokyo for the first time, as well as the latest works shot by HIROMIX, set in Shibuya.
