Bisai Art Market

Specialising in traditional Japanese art – from calligraphy works and letters to paintings – Kyobashi's Kashima Arts gallery has been making a name for itself with these biannual art markets. Held every spring and autumn, their Bisai now returns for its first 2017 edition and will again help introduce Tokyoites to lesser-known pieces that date back all the way to the Edo era. Admire the selection of more than 400 works, which consists mainly of prints and calligraphy by the likes of Ito Jakuchu, Soga Shohaku and Shiko Munakata, all available for purchase – if you've got a thick wallet, of course. The rest of us will be happy to enter for free and just spend a few quiet moments ogling the merchandise.
