Mitsubishi Estate has been a leading developer and area manager for over 120 years focusing on areas around Otemachi, Marunouchi and Yurakucho. In addition to various art initiatives including the development of Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, its present projects include the public art featured in Marunouchi Street Gallery on Nakadori Street, which started in 1972, and the discovery and promotion of young artists through Art Award Tokyo Marunouchi, which began in 2007. Believing the importance of cooporating with artists to revitalize Yurakucho, it organized successive projects such as the opening of CADAN Yurakucho, the first gallery run by the Contemporary Art Dealers Association Nippon, followed by the Tokyo Photographic Research’s project, and the Sonoaida project, in which artist Akira Fujimoto makes use of vacant premises. While Yurakucho has been a traditional business district in Tokyo, Mitsubishi Estate has been supporting activities of people with different perspectives and talents in order to bring new values in the area.

- Bold
-
Launched in March, 2021, Bold is a web media built around the idea of “being able to live more freely as human beings”. Unveiled after approximately two years of research into instinct and unleashing it, Bold brings the affirmative redefinition of the irresistible urge we each have to live freely, or our ‘instinct’. Bold believes that the way to the modern unleashing of instinct is by each and every one of us acquiring the means to enjoy a more plentiful life. The project informs others of what it means to live freely, through interviews, discourse, photo galleries, and other content crossing the boundaries of expression with those who live free of social norms.
