Viewing Room

POETIC SCAPE

Established in 2011 in Nakameguro, Tokyo, POETIC SCAPE is a commercial gallery specializing in photography.
With a mission to “expand the concept of photography” and “develop the photographic market in Japan,” the gallery has been engaged in a wide range of activities. Its program spans from contemporary expressions by emerging and mid-career artists to historically significant works by renowned photographers, introducing the rich diversity of photographic expression. In recent years, while continuing to focus on photography, the gallery has expanded its curatorial scope to include works that transcend its boundaries.

At the store located in the back of the gallery, POETIC SCAPE offers a curated selection of photobooks and critical writings on photography, as well as professional framing for photographs and paintings—providing comprehensive support related to art.
Furthermore, in 2024, the gallery opened a new appointment-only viewing room within walking distance, offering collectors and museum professionals more personalized opportunities to view and acquire works from its roster.
