'VINYL' is an art goods shop offering works that are 'hard to define but intriguing,' providing items that stimulate the senses with every visit.

Its attached gallery rotates exhibitions every 2–3 weeks, hosting solo and group shows by various artists from Japan and abroad. Aiming to be the world's most interesting gallery, it maximizes its location within Tokyo Station.

In the second store, 'VINYL UNDERGROUND,' the company will inherit the context of the flagship store while utilizing its two attached galleries to curate attention-worthy artists, ranging from contemporary art to pop culture, from a unique perspective.

Furthermore, the store will feature curated daily goods, rotating pop-up shops, various events, and a cafe space for customers to relax between shopping and viewing art.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to this place where new surprises and creativity intersect.

Further details, such as information on the inaugural solo exhibition and products, will be announced at a later date.
