How to use this guide
Tokyo rewards visitors who look beyond a single gallery district. Contemporary practice sits beside photography, architecture, design, publishing, craft and media art, while institutions and independent spaces operate on very different calendars. This guide organizes original sources so readers can move from an artist to a representing gallery, from a museum exhibition to a nearby store, or from a medium to a wider city route. It is not a fixed itinerary: programs change quickly, and the source website remains authoritative for dates, access and booking. The collection also keeps Japanese names when an official English form is unavailable rather than inventing a translation.
