toco toco - Season 1 Episode 10 Fuyuki Kanai, illustrator and performer
In this episode, Fuyuki Kanai, an illustrator is introducing us to PARK SHOP and GALLERY located in Hirai, in the Edogawa ward.
He is holding an exhibition called "PARCHIVE" that is commemorating the opening of the gallery.
Hirai is an old school neighbourhood that doesn't benefit much from the latest policies in urbanism.
However, it is this kind of places that young people choose to open cafes or galleries. This new movement is very interesting and PARK is part of it.
The PARK SHOP and GALLERY is very close to the station, about one-minute walk and opened in January 2015. It takes its name from the small park across the street.
Both share the purpose of bringing people together.
His goal is to create a place where art, culture could mix with the life of the neighbourhood. The exhibition space is in the back. Artists exposing are also making clothes that you can find in the PARK SHOP.
Inside the gallery, there are also books, second-hand clothes, and a place where you can quietly read while drinking free coffee.
Edogawa is a very traditional area and even though the Tokyo Sky Tree tower is located right next to it, tourism hasn't developed in the area. Fuyuki Kanai finds it interesting to have this new form of culture mixed with the old-style neighbourhoods.
He exhibits his work in various places and also publishes a lot of comics. He studied Cinema at university and also did some theater. He did all kind of things but decided to go back to what he loves, drawing.
Since Fuyuki did some theater he is sometimes doing dance performances as a hobby.
