After Tomo and Tiny left the NININI House to embark on new adventures, we felt the absence deeply — a part of our family had moved on, and with them, a big piece of the Jinny Street Gallery story. We’ve shared so many beautiful memories together within those walls.

After their departure, the house — which had been scheduled for demolition in 2025 — received an extension on its deadline. This opened the door for Lana and Kaiki to step in as the new owners, choosing to carry forward its legacy and give rise to NININI-NI. Their decision to keep the soul of this place alive and continue offering it as a home for our community touched us deeply.

To honor this continuity and celebrate the spirit that binds us all, we’ve decided to keep the tradition alive and organize MICHIBIKI vol.3.

トモとタイニーが新しい冒険のためにNININIの家を去った後、私たちは少し寂しく感じた。これまで一緒にたくさんの思い出を作ってきた、街の一部の家族がいなくなり、Jinny Street Galleryの物語の大きな一部を失ったように感じた。

しかし、その後、新しいオーナー、カイキとラナがこの家に加わり、NININI-NIが誕生した。この家は受け継ぐべき大切な場所であり、二人がその魂を守り、コミュニティの居場所として提供してくれる決断を尊重したいと思っている。そこで、私たちはこの伝統を受け継ぎ、MICHIBIKI vol.3を開催することにしました。

Project Story

NININI-NI

NININI-NI carries on the story of an old house in Jingumae — a place that has long connected people through art and community.

This time, Kaiki and Lana have stepped in as the new owners. Kaiki, an actor and artist with a truly kind heart, and Lana, an artist with radiant energy and a sunny personality, are now continuing the legacy. Both felt the calling — the MICHIBIKI — from the house itself, and chose to keep its spirit alive.

Answering that call, NININI-NI keeps the light on: a home for creativity, connection, and the community that has always filled this house with life.

NININI-NI（ニニニ・ニー）は、神宮前の古い家の物語を受け継いでいます。この場所は、長い間アートとコミュニティを通して人々をつなげてきました。今回は、新しいオーナーとしてカイキとラナがこの家に加わりました。俳優でありアーティストでもあるカイキは、優しく思いやりのある心を持ち、アーティストのラナは、その明るく太陽のようなエネルギーで空間を照らします。

二人はこの家からの“導き”を感じ取り、その魂を受け継ぐことを選びました。その呼びかけに応えるように、NININI-NIは今日も灯りをともします。

創造とつながり、そしてこの家にいつも命を吹き込んできたコミュニティのための場所として。

Jinny Street Gallery

JSG was founded by friends who didn’t know each other before they noticed a series of lonely streetlamps with always empty display cases. “The city is never using those streetlamps as exhibition cases; it would be nice to show my street photos... in the street,” — they thought — “This place is amazing.” A year apart, Lorenzo and Toto had been lured to those streetlamps and hosted their first “street exhibitions.” A few years later, they crossed paths at a dinner with a common friend. One more year later, Jinny Street Gallery had its inaugural exhibition.

JSGも、もともと面識のなかった2人が街灯をきっかけに導かれる様に出会い、始まりました。近所に住むLorenzoとTotoは、それぞれ空っぽの展示ケースがついた街灯を見つけ、「この街灯いいな！」「ここで自分のストリートフォトを展示できたら最高だな」と思い、商店会に交渉し個展を開催しました。そこで偶然にも、同じようなアイデアを持つ者同士がいることを知り、意気投合。そしてその翌年、2人でJinny Street Galleryを設立しました。
