Art Fair Tokyo 2025 Favorites


Just days after the buzz of Art Basel Hong Kong, Tokyo stepped into the spotlight.
From March 6 to 9, 2025, Art Fair Tokyo celebrated its 20th anniversary at the iconic Tokyo International Forum. Bringing together 139 galleries from Japan and abroad, the fair showcased a rich mix of contemporary painting, immersive installations, and traditional crafts, highlighting both established names and rising talents. Visitors could explore everything from cutting-edge art to masterful ceramics, textiles, and time-honored artisanal techniques.

As Japan’s largest art fair, Art Fair Tokyo has grown in step with the Japanese art market itself. It is now the second largest in Asia after China, and continues to serve as a key meeting point for collectors, curators, and art lovers.
