Updated For Japanese contemporary art, take art collection aims to provide great artworks by Japanese contemporary artists, mainly introducing screenprints and photo works. In addition to being on an internet gallery, the art fair called "take art collection" takes place every year at Spiral Garden, 1st floor of Spiral building. At this art fair, various artworks by Yoko Ono, Yayoi Kusama, Tatsuo Miyajima and other young Japanese artists are being exhibited.

Chiharu Nishizawa paints dark humour social comments of Japanese corporation life.

Akira Yamaguchi merges different historical eras in his paintings and drawings, often using a Yamato-e painting style (perspective-less traditional Japanese landscape paintings). He is most known recently for having drawn that wonderful picture of the new Roppongi-Hills complex surrounded by low houses merged with ultra-modern buildings looking like traditional Japanese castles. Some pictures here and there.
