Iroya Gallery ・ Iwakuni ・ Since 2015

A little colour,
for every day.

Iroya Gallery is a small gallery devoted to colour, standing at the foot of Kintaikyo Bridge in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi.

Something that quietly settles the heart. Something you want to show a friend. Something you will keep for years.
We introduce works that add colour to everyday life, both here in the gallery and online.

CONCEPT

From the foot of Kintaikyo Bridge.

Our work is to stand between the visitor and the work of art. Through solo shows, curated exhibitions and our own original pieces, we hope to bring a little colour into your daily life.

01

Exhibitions

We hold exhibitions throughout the year, centred on curated shows by artists from across Japan. Works are introduced and sold in the gallery, in our online gallery, and through live broadcasts.

02

Open-call exhibitions

We organise open-call exhibitions that support artists nationwide, including the Zero-Go Ten, an exhibition of works painted on size-0 canvases.

03

Original goods

We design and sell our own items rooted in Iwakuni, such as Kintaikyo Bridge postcards and tenugui hand towels printed with the local lotus root.

04

A word from the owner

OWNER

Kaori Egishi

I have spent more than twenty years working with colour. Colour has the power to move people and to enrich daily life. Drawing on that knowledge and experience, I feel fortunate to stand between our visitors and the works we show.

Please feel free to come in and enjoy the encounter with something beautiful.
