\n\tWith art storage facilities, galleries, and museums clustered along its canals, Tennoz is one of Tokyo\u2019s leading art districts. Its history dates back to the final years of the Edo period, when the shogunate constructed coastal defense batteries known as daiba in response to the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry. Taking advantage of its proximity to the port, the area later developed into a logistics district where factories and warehouses were concentrated.<\/p>\n

\n\tFounded in 1950, Warehouse TERRADA has expanded beyond its core warehousing business, developing a range of art-related facilities since the 2000s. In 2022, it established a bonded gallery space where imported artworks can be exhibited and stored without immediately incurring customs duties or consumption tax, further strengthening Tennoz\u2019s role as a hub for the international circulation of art works.<\/p>\n

\n\tToday, Tennoz is home to a range of art spaces operated by Warehouse TERRADA, including the gallery complex TERRADA ART COMPLEX, WHAT MUSEUM, and WHAT CAFE, which exhibits and sells works by emerging artists. Tennoz\u2019s proximity to Haneda Airport has also helped make the area one of Tokyo\u2019s leading art destinations, attracting contemporary art collectors and enthusiasts from Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n

\n\tTENNOZ ART WEEK 2026 invites visitors to explore these venues and experience a wide range of contemporary art, as well as open studios and workshops using traditional painting materials. Through programs that offer access not only to finished works but also to the places where art is made and the techniques behind it, the event aims to convey both the state of contemporary Japanese art today and the multifaceted appeal of Tennoz as an art hub. Below are this year\u2019s highlights.<\/p>\n
