ごあいさつ
「ICHIUROKO」は、作家さんが滞在して制作や展示、販売等をすることができるよう、かつて清龍寺の修行僧が住んでいた長屋を改修して誕生しました。一階がアトリエ兼展示空間、屋根裏に宿泊空間があります。建物1棟を一時使用の賃貸借契約でお貸しします。
万葉集で『玉の浦』と詠まれ、平家物語の水島合戦の地でもあり、今でも江戸後期、明治初期からの紙屋さん、造り酒屋さん、味噌屋さんが営業している港町に、美術をとおして新しい風を吹き込んでみませんか。作家の皆様のご利用をお待ちいたしております。

In the beginning, we would like to convey our greetings to everyone who engages in artistic activities.
“Ichiuroko”is born as a place where artists can produce, display, sell their art works during their stay. It used to be a nagaya (a traditional Japanese tenement house) where ascetic monks of Seiryuji Temple lived and now remodeled into an artistic space. Ground floor can be used as an atelier or space for display and selling. A loft provides residential space.
We temporarily lease a whole building to short-stay artists.
Tamashima is a port town which was written as “Tamanoura” in the Manyoshu poetry collection, and once became a historical battle field of “The Tale of Heike.” A paper wholesaler, soybean paste factory, and sake brewery were built in the late Edo or early Meiji period and they are still in production.
Do you interest in breathing a fresh sensitivity into this old port town through artistic activities? We offer a friendly welcome to artists who are interested in staying at Ichiuroko.
