Terms of use

As its name suggests, the Dohjidai gallery's management policy keyword is “contemporary”.
Whether you are an artist or a spectator, the most pronounced modernity is a better means of expression for you, beyond purely technical considerations - because it is undeniable that there are some which are not of a contemporary nature. However, if the message conveyed by the work as a whole has a contemporary character and reflects a contemporary history, experience, point of view, then the genre of expression, the medium, the technology used, the age or the genre of the artist etc. do not matter.
