Daikanyama Gallery, next to Daikanyama Station.

A serene space by Taeko Sagara, co-created with architects and artisans,
that connects craft and people.

Daikanyama Gallery is situated in an excellent location right next to Daikan-yama Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. Climbing the green-enveloped stairs immediately outside the station and opening the door instantly distances one from the noise of the outside world.
Owner Taeko Sagara, a former art director, converted her home into the gallery during the pandemic. Her motivation was to provide a venue for artists who had lost exhibition spaces due to many galleries closing during that time.
The gallery focuses mainly on craftworks. Sagara decided on this focus after pottery helped her recover mentally from exhaustion during a period of caregiving, and because of her frequent encounters with beautiful crafts during museum visits abroad.
The gallery aims to reinvigorate the art world, which had quieted down during the pandemic, bringing together various artisans and creators to construct its unique space.
The subtle, sunlit space was designed by a collaborative team (Koyori and Akihiro Tai Architect & Associates).
Wataru Hatano created the expressive washi paper walls, and Shibata Sakan skillfully applied traditional plaster and earth base layers.
The high-quality furniture, made by Akitomo Furniture, conveys a quiet warmth without being overly assertive, making the space harmonious and refined.
The resulting Daikanyama Gallery is not merely a display box but a place to quietly savor time with art, and its comfort draws many craft enthusiasts. Sagara says, “Since I created this gallery, I feel my life hasn’t been wasted.
I started by hoping to connect the works created by artists with people, but I realized I was also connecting people with people. And that’s where interesting, chemical reactions occur. Discovering this role of the gallery has made every day stimulating.”
Finding beloved craftworks, introducing them to many, and connecting artists with viewers—Sagara’s daily life is overflowing with a love for art.
