Kakejikuya's Exclusive Pop-Up Event in Shibuya

Kakejikuya, the celebrated specialist in traditional Japanese hanging scrolls, is bringing its artistry to the forefront with a limited-time pop-up shop in Shibuya. From May 24 to May 26, 2025, the pop-up will transform a currently under-construction storefront along Meiji Street into a vibrant space celebrating Japanese culture and aesthetics.

Located conveniently between Shibuya and Harajuku, this pop-up offers an opportunity for both locals and international visitors to engage with Kakejikuya's unique offerings. Together, they will showcase over 100 pieces of hanging scrolls, catering to a diverse audience fascinated by these art forms.

A Contemporary Take on Traditional Art

While hanging scrolls have historically been reserved for tea rooms and traditional Japanese spaces, Kakejikuya is redefining their purpose by seamlessly integrating them into modern decor. The captivating pieces, crafted using traditional techniques yet infused with modern design elements, prove to be not only suitable for Japanese interiors but also align beautifully with Western design. This revitalization has captured the interest of an array of customers, particularly those from abroad seeking meaningful decor or souvenirs to commemorate their experiences in Japan.

Customers today are increasingly looking for art that resonates with their contemporary lifestyles, and Kakejikuya's hanging scrolls serve as ideal “new art pieces” to fit such needs. By appealing to a wide range of tastes and styles, including modern residences, hotel decor, and unique gifts, these pieces enjoy high regard both locally and internationally.

Kakejikuya stands out in Tokyo as a go-to place for those seeking accessible hanging scrolls that can be taken home immediately. The pop-up shop welcomes international travelers who may have previously struggled to locate such specialized stores and offers a fresh experience for younger patrons who find these art forms novel.

A key attraction of this event is the convenient size of many scrolls, with options available for immediate purchase and transport, catering to the needs of all visitors.
