SCAI The Bathhouse

Passed by this neighborhood with a local and cozy vibe, took some street photos, and only noticed this gallery at the last minute. I didn’t get a chance to visit, so I’m leaving it here as a reminder for next time :)

A contemporary art gallery housed in a former public bathhouse. While it often features international artists, right now it’s showcasing works by Kohei Nawa, one of Japan’s leading contemporary artists. Since it’s a gallery, if you find something you love, you can actually buy it.

free entry. small gallery but packed with 10-15 or so pieces. worth a visit! especially for the PixCell piece

Beautiful and petite gallery. the lady at the front was super nice and wholeheartedly explained many things in her fluent English. They give free things also, I got a cute tote bag. Thank you :))

Oh ho, the anti-bathhouse bathhouse! Perplexing, yes. There's one big bright room that houses all sorts of funky sculptures, like this golden banana, by contemporary (usually Japanese) creators. I also enjoyed the air conditioning. It's not too far from Ueno, Geidai, etc. and it's free! 5 stars for air conditioning. I love air conditioning.
