It's rare to be named station after the city itself.
We do not see the station names as Paris or New York.
Sometimes it is confusing to say "I'll go to Tokyo". Station? or Downtown in Tokyo?
Anyway, Tokyo is a big city as you know.
And Tokyo station is the biggest station in Japan (as far as I know).
Everyone seems to be super busy. Walk fast!
When you get off the station, people still walk fast and seem to be hurry for something as if they are chasing something very important.
What are they looking for? I always question myself and imagine what they are searching for. No particular answer comes yet.
Our galley is located near Tokyo station (ten minutes on foot).
Just ten minutes walking and I can get relaxing time.
Time stops in the gallery. What I can feel about time is the time, which artists might have spent time for their creation.
I daydream a lot at the gallery.
And also think of the moment when a scroll meets his/her owner, whom we call our customer.
One of my co-workers always says "There is a certain thing that only a museum can do, there is also a certain thing that only a gallery can do"
What we, a gallery, can do is to make an encounter.
We always look forward to making up an encounter of people and scrolls like lovers meet up and hug each other at the station.
