End of Year with Jinny: Creators’ Club and Kosugiyu Pop-Up

December is busy at Jinny Street Gallery. We’re closing the year with a new exhibition born from our workshop community and a cozy sento collaboration just around the corner.

The Creators’ Club Year End Exhibition

December 12 – January 15 @ Jinny Street Gallery

The Creators’ Club was born from a simple idea: art is for everyone.

When Altria of Owlpaca Studio met the Jinny Street Gallery community, we realized we shared the same vision—to make creativity playful, open, and free from rules. Since October 2024, the Club has hosted monthly workshops inspired by Jinny’s exhibitions, where people gather to make things with no pressure and no expectations, just for the joy of creating.

This year-end exhibition brings together works made during those sessions—pieces created in just a few hours, using everyday materials and a lot of imagination. It’s a reminder that if you know how to play, you already know how to create.

Exhibition

• Venue: Jinny Street Gallery (the streetlamps of Jingumae 2-chome)
• Dates: December 12th – January 15th

Opening Event / Artists Mixer – December 12

To celebrate the opening, we’re hosting an Artists Mixer on Friday, December 12th.

• Time: December 12, 18:30

• Location: NININI·NI (@llllll.ll_tokyo)

• What’s happening:

  • Food and drinks
  • A relaxed mixer for Creators’ Club participants, Jinny artists, and friends
  • A walk together around Jinny Street Gallery to see the works installed in the street

Everyone is welcome—whether you’ve joined a workshop, submitted to an open call, or just want to meet artists and see what the Club has been up to.

Jinny × Kosugiyu Harajuku Pop-Up

December 5 – 24 @ Kosugiyu Harajuku

Just a short walk from Jinny, we’re starting the second phase of our collaboration with Kosugiyu Harajuku (@kosugiyu_harajuku).

This time, we’re bringing Jinny into the sento itself, with a mix of drinks, goods, and artworks.

Yu-asobi Artworks at the Counter

Near the counter, you’ll find a small Jinny pop-up booth featuring selected artworks from our summer Yu-asobi exhibition with Kosugiyu:

• A selection of pieces from the street exhibition
• All works on display will be available for purchase.

Jinny Sento Tenugui

We’ve made a special collaboration tenugui (Japanese bath towel) together with Kosugiyu and Kamawanu, whose shop is just around the corner from our neighborhood.

• Available at Kosugiyu Harajuku during the pop-up
• Limited run, designed for everyday use (and for hanging on your wall if you like)

Jinny Lemon Sour at the Sento

Our Jinny Lemon Sour is back, this time available directly at Kosugiyu with a limited-edition Kosugiyu label. You can enjoy it before or after your bath—think of it as a little Jinny in a glass.

Jinny Street Gallery Lemon Bath – December 5–7

From December 5th to 7th, Kosugiyu will host a special collaboration bath:

• Jinny Street Gallery – a citrus (lemon/yuzu) hot bath inside the sento
• A short, three-day-only collaboration to mark the start of the pop-up

Until next time, and see you around the corner,
