Onishi Gallery, specializing in KOGEI (contemporary craft art from Japan), is proud to present its Asia Week New York 2025 exhibition KOGEI + Art in its newly established Upper East Side location at 16 E 79th Street.

“KOGEI” refers to works made using materials and methods that have stood the test of time, reflecting uncompromising dedication to technical perfection and a search for new forms of expression. Our Asia Week show is focused on three leading categories of KOGEI, highlighting its growing role in contemporary Western lifestyle and global art and design. We chose the title KOGEI and Art to reflect the unique character of KOGEI, not seen in other cultures, and to emphasize its separate but complementary status alongside “Art” in the conventional Western sense.
