About Us

TOKYO ART SPHERE is a web media covering art, exhibitions and cultural experiences across Japan. Through reporting and commentary, we introduce the background of works, the appeal of spaces and the perspectives of the people who make them.

With Tokyo as our gateway, we introduce art and culture from all over Japan. We will keep expanding our coverage, from exhibitions and art festivals to expressions of light and technology such as projection mapping and immersive art.

At the heart of our editorial focus are the highlights of exhibitions and events, the design of exhibition spaces, industry trends in light and digital expression, and their relationship with regions and culture. Spanning museums, exhibitions and digital expression, we deliver articles that tell you “what to see” and “what is happening now.”

For those planning events, we also organize practical articles on costs, processes, permits and subsidies (Article guide for planners).

Editorial policy

Articles are classified into four categories: “NEWS,” “EXHIBITIONS (exhibitions and events),” “FEATURES (features and guides)” and “TRENDS (industry trends).” Facts such as dates, venues and admission fees are verified against primary sources, such as press materials issued by organizers and the parties concerned and official websites, and the sources referenced and their dates are stated at the end of each article. Each article displays its publication date and update date, and any revision of its content is noted within the article. If an error is found, it is corrected promptly, and the details and date of the correction are noted within the article. Image captions credit the provider or photographer.

In articles about events or facilities in whose planning, production or organization the publisher or its affiliated corporations are involved, this is stated as a “*Disclosure” immediately after the introduction. When such an event is mentioned in only part of an article, the event information and the “*Disclosure” are presented together in the “Notice from the publisher” section at the end of the article. Announcements from the publisher are likewise placed in this section, separately from the article text.
