The Japan Society Gallery
The Japan Society seeks to bring the people of Japan and the United States closer together through the presentation of innovative programs in arts and culture, public policy, business, language, and education.
The Japan Society’s gallery is one of the top U.S. exhibitors of Japanese art. Exhibitions are displayed in the modestly-sized gallery on a changing basis, representing a wide variety of art forms from the ancient to the contemporary. Visit the Japan Society website for information on the current exhibition.
The gallery is housed in a building designed by Japanese architect Junzo Yoshimura. In addition to the gallery space, the building contains a small indoor garden, reflecting pool and waterfall, furnishings by George Nakashima, a theater, library, language center, conference facilities, and administrative offices. Films, performances, and talks are regularly scheduled in the theater.
