J-Collabo was founded in 2008 as a NY State 501(c)3 non-proﬁt organization and started as an online gallery with the theme of "Experience Japan in Brooklyn.”
The gallery also published interviews with prominent Japanese in the U.S., including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Shinzo Abe etc. In addition,J-Collabo was involved in the planning and management of many cultural events, including a charity event for the Great East Japan Earthquake at St. John theDivine Cathedral, and a tourism promotion event at Grand Central Station. BELLA GAIA, a collaboration of traditional Japanese performing arts such as Gagaku
and Noh, and video of the Universe by NASA, has been successfully performed at NYU Skirball, Yakushiji Temple, and Himuro Shrine. Since 2014, J-Collabo has
established a permanent base in Brooklyn, where it plans and manages educational programs on traditional Japanese culture such as tea ceremonies, ﬂower
arrangement, calligraphy, rakugo and Noh, and traditional crafts such as bamboo crafts, pottery, lacquer ware, and Japanese paper. Under the concept of"Brooklyn + Japan," J-Collabo provides free community events to connect with local people. In addition, since 2017, J-Collabo has held an annual art groupexhibition, providing opportunities for outstanding artists to showcase their work, including solo exhibitions in the U.S. and Japan.
