Japanese IP art, for collectors outside Japan.
GALVEZ Frontier is an independent company in Osaka, Japan. Our field is Japanese IP art — art made from Japan's characters and stories — and collectibles.
Planning and operations behind a six-city exhibition tour of IP art in Japan, 2025–2026
The route that takes Japanese IP art to collectors outside Japan
What we are building
Japanese IP art is finding collectors outside Japan. We are building the route.
These works are made in limited editions and shown in Japan first. A collector outside Japan often hears of a work long before finding a way to reach it.
Two routes are in preparation. The first is pop-up shops outside Japan, open for a short season, where works that already have a first owner in Japan can be seen and acquired. The second is private sales: standing between an owner in Japan and a collector outside Japan.
And the other direction
When a rights holder outside Japan wants to reach a Japanese audience, we can plan and produce an exhibition or event here.
What we have done
Six cities
2025–2026
Bikkuriman × MUSASHI exhibition tour. Six cities across Japan, from Hiroshima in June 2025 to Tokyo in March 2026, co-organized by Lotte Co., Ltd. (Japan) and Ishitomi Property Co., Ltd.
Co-organizers' announcement (Japanese) →Our part was behind the scenes. Working under Ishitomi Property, we handled the planning, venue coordination, installation and on-site operations in all six cities. The public credits name the two co-organizers; the work on the ground was ours.
Metal works shown on the tour, and at the Expo 2025 exhibition mentioned below, were produced by GAAAT Corporation (Tokyo) as Metal Canvas Art.
