About

galerie nichido is the first gallery specialized in the Western-style oil painting in Japan founded in
1928. As a pioneer taking an essential part in popularization of the European art in the country, the
gallery runs on an extensive scale handling a wide range of works from the French Impressionism
to contemporary art, and concurrently holding a large assortment of works by Japanese masters
and emerging artists.
galerie nichido has launched the Showa-kai, an annual contest of established for the purpose of
promoting young emerging artists, started in 1966. The prize winners of the Showa-kai are now
leading the Japanese art community, and contributing to enrich the cultural environment for
succeeding generations. We have other branches in Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Karuizawa (open
summer season) Japan and Paris, France.

nca | nichido contemporary art was founded in 2001, as a new division of Galerie Nichido, taking over the frontier spirit
which galerie nichido, the main gallery has been advocating through introducing Western paintings widely in Japan since
its establishment.
We encourage people to re-evaluate own identity introducing various contemporary art both Japanese and international
artists.

1972, the Nichido Art Foundation has opened the Kasama Nichido Museum of Art in Kasama City, Ibaraki Japan. The
permanent collection covers works from the French Impressionism to American Pop Art including Japanese Masters of
Modern Art. In addition there are over 350 palette paintings by old masters which artists has been used as actual palette.

In 2015, galerie nichido mark the 88th anniversary, we opened a new space in Taipei, called galerie nichido Taipei. Now we
have two branches abroad in Taipei and Paris, which established in 1973.
In galerie nichido Taipei, we share the program with our contemporary branch, nca | nichido contemporary art, and trying to
focus on Asian art mainly in both modern and contemporary in the future. We hope to take up this challenge to the next
level, and create a strong platform for cultural exchange with Asia.
