STORIES

A shared cultural infrastructure,

rooted in Japan

Tokyo Salone and its year-round constellation are curated by semi permanent and teenage engineering, building upon more than two decades of global cultural exchange.

Since 2002, when semi permanent first collaborated with Banksy, the platform has produced more than fifty gatherings across thirteen cities, convening world-class voices spanning design, architecture, art, technology, film, music, gastronomy, and culture.

In 2026, the story turns a page.

The hearth of semi permanent shifts from its birthplace in Australasia to a new home in Tokyo, carried forward by 「 yes, 」, a queer women-led venture firm weaving together investment, creativity, hospitality, and cultural exchange into a long-horizon vision for the future.

Aotearoa remains an essential part of that story.

Independent yet intertwined, its spirit remains in dialogue with Tokyo and the wider world. Together, they form a constellation of places, practices, and people, each illuminating and strengthening the other.

Through every transition, one truth endures.

semi permanent exists to uplift.

To honor the artisans, craftspersons, innovators, and thinkers shaping Japan, Aotearoa, and the broader Asia Pacific region, ensuring their stories travel outward, return transformed, and enrich the fabric of our shared cultural industries.

Each gathering is an offering.

Carefully curated. Deeply felt.

A reminder that creativity is both inheritance and horizon, carried forward by each new generation who chooses to build what comes next.

What Is

Tokyo Salone?

Tokyo Salone is a design-led cultural infrastructure platform connecting Japan’s creative ecosystem with a global community of practitioners, studios, institutions, and future generations.

Built upon more than two decades of semi permanent’s international network, the platform brings together a community of more than 300,000 designers, architects, technologists, filmmakers, chefs, artists, entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders from around the world.

Through year-round salons, listening experiences, exhibitions, shared meals, research publications, and cultural exchanges, Tokyo Salone creates the conditions for meaningful dialogue between global perspectives and regional practice.

At the center of this constellation sits Tokyo Salone, an annual two-day gathering held in Tokyo.

Taking place November 13–14, 2026, Tokyo Salone brings together leading practitioners from Japan and abroad for keynotes, provocations, conversations, and shared experiences designed to spark new relationships, ideas, and collaborations.

Included within the Tokyo Salone experience is Nightshift Shakedown, an evening celebration of engineering, mobility, JDM culture, and the communities that form around them, taking place on the first evening of the gathering.

Tokyo Salone itself is only one part of a broader constellation.

Throughout November, additional annual experiences unfold across Tokyo and Kyoto, including Nourish, Speculative Futures, Shibuya, The Culture of Modern Luxury, Held in Sound, After the Flame, and other gatherings that extend the conversation across disciplines, communities, and generations.

Tokyo Salone prioritizes exchange over exhibition.

Not spectatorship.

Participation.

Not a single event.

A living cultural infrastructure designed to strengthen Japan’s creative landscape while extending its influence outward. Each gathering contributes to a larger ecosystem of relationships, mentorship, opportunity, and exchange.

Designed not for a season, but for the long term.

Why Tokyo,

Why Now?

Japan is entering a renewed period of global influence.

From anime, manga, games, toys, and collectible culture, to architecture, gastronomy, mobility, robotics, and AI, Japan continues to shape global culture in ways both visible and subtle.

At the same time, a new generation of practitioners across design, architecture, hospitality, technology, media, and culture is actively seeking deeper exchange with the world.

What has been missing is a contemporary platform capable of bringing these forces together with clarity, continuity, and international reach.

Our constellation exists to:

Convene

Bring leading global practitioners and Japan’s next generation of creators into meaningful, cross-disciplinary dialogue.

Share

Surface the realities behind creative practice, including process, experimentation, recalibration, and failure, helping accelerate learning across generations.

Integrate

Connect disciplines that rarely occupy the same room, from mobility engineering to gastronomy, architecture to anime, artificial intelligence to hospitality.

Connect

Create pathways between emerging voices, established practitioners, institutions, and opportunities across Japan and the broader Asia Pacific region.

Establish

Position Tokyo as a global reference point for future-facing cultural leadership.

Steward

Build long-term cultural infrastructure that strengthens creative communities and supports future generations.

An investment in the future cultural fabric of Japan, and the communities connected to it.
