Always a peaceful and pleasant place with high quality choices of shows from Japan which tend to be collaborations with Western artist or institutions. I’d love to see more purely Japanese works or collaborations with African, Asian or The Americas. Last visit was to see works by Female Japanese performance artist. Good.

Absolutely loved this place. The attending staff were so gracious. I didn’t have a mask on hand and they found one for myself and my friend. At my visit they requieres masks and proof of vaccination. Indoors they ambience was very mellow and serene. They have a small waterfall that I could just stare at all day. Their architecture works well and I feel I’m not in NYC when I’m here. I visited to see an exhibition by kazuko miyamoto, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The exhibition was broken into 3 small rooms but I felt completely enthralled and submerged into it. I spent about an hour here.
The bathrooms were one of the most cleanest in the city. They were heated and had a bidet option which as a traveler I found so amusing.

I got the opportunity to come here for a woodblock printing workshop and it was so much fun! Our instructors were really knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about the Ukiyo-e period from them. The architecture was beautiful and even the bathrooms were so nice.

While the exhibition itself wasn't very good. The place is nice and can be easily navigated through. Even in the winter when most people keep their coats on, you can walk around comfortably. Good acoustics as well.

Disappointing exhibits. There was an exhibit on bunraku without any video of a bunraku performance? And the other exhibit was basically an advertisement for Mcdonald’s (their collaboration with Acky Bright). Literally, the video playing was an ad for Mcdonald’s. Not worth seeing.

I love this place. There are always fantastic events to go to here, and they offer language courses as well. Courses are offered in all possible levels for the Japanese language, so that's really great. Additionally, the people who work there are really nice. Talking to them will make you want to buy a membership, haha! I highly recommend going here and checking out some of their events and taking a few brochures on programs they offer.
