TOKYO MODERNISM will be holding this event again this year.
Last year, when we were based in MUJI Ginza, many people enjoyed the MODERNISM SHOW, an event with vintage galleries from all over Japan that used guest rooms at MUJI HOTEL GINZA.
The real pleasure of the "MODERNISM SHOW" is that you can meet things in a real place and hear the background and information about the things directly from buyers who are passionate about them. It was a place where we could once again feel the importance and enjoyment of communication between sellers and buyers through goods.
This is the second time. At the MODERNISM SHOW, new people have joined the gallery that brings in and introduces wonderful designs from various countries, as well as the exhibition “JAPANESE MODERN'', which delves deeper into Japanese modernism, and hands-on events that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. We are preparing a power-up project such as holding the event "MODERNISM EXPERIENCE". A special event lasting about two months with various encounters and discoveries. Please stay tuned.

Overseas, collectors and enthusiasts from all over the world flock to exhibitions and markets of mid-century modern and modern designs born in the mid-20th century, such as “Design Miami” in Miami, USA and “Downtown Modernism” in Los Angeles.

Many people may have a common image of Scandinavian modern and American mid-century. On the other hand, how many clear images and words do we have in response to the question, "What is Japanese modern?" After the Meiji Restoration and two world wars, the life of the Japanese people changed drastically and rapidly. While preserving traditional traditions, techniques, and aesthetics, the rapid changes in styles and values can be said to be part of the history of modern Japanese design. This exhibition was held in cooperation with Keiji Nagai, an interior designer and collector of modern design, and Naoki Terada, a designer and business person.
Consider "Japanese Modern". A related talk event will also be held during the exhibition.
