Gallery Deux Poisson

Months ago I went to Ebisu to go see Yasuki Hiramatsu's Jewelry and Object exhibition at a tiny out of the way gallery called "Gallery Deux Poisson". I tried going back again recently, but they were closed for the holidays. If you are interested in viewing jewelry as an Art form, "Gallery Deux Poisson" is an excellent place to visit. If you are looking to buy jewelry, I'm sure I don't even have to say it, but Mikimoto in Ginza is the spot for drool worthy pieces! Love, love the Mikimoto building!

Anyway, for those interested in jewelry as Art, follow me! Get to Ebisu station on the Yamanote line. You need to exit from the East Exit of the station, and then you'll see the above "Atre" department store, and escalators going down just past it. Just follow the dude in all black on the right of this picture.

Once you are down the escalators, you'll see Starbucks immediately on your left, and on your right, you'll see a clock tower and the taxi cab pickup area. Turn right, but don't turn right-right! I mean don't go behind the escalators, turn right, walk between the clock tower and taxis and follow the sidewalk with the railing which will lead you right pass the taxi pickup area and to the road pictured above. Do you see the guy in the white shirt? You should be on that sidewalk, OK? From there, just follow the sidewalk, which curves to the left.

From there, just go straight and at the end of the short block, you'll see the blue Mizuho bank sign. Cross the street towards there and keep going straight. You'll walk straight for about two more blocks, but these two blocks are LONG.

On your right(across the street), you'll pass by SAMRAT Indian restaurant.

Meanwhile on your left, you'll pass by this warehouse looking restaurant.

Once you reach the end of the first block, you'll see this building(restaurant) on your right. You've got one more block to go!

Keep going straight and once you pass by the convenience store called "The Daily Yamazaki", you'll see the "Ebisu Post Office". The street sign by the stoplights there also says "Ebisu Post Office". At this point, take a left and go straight. I would say, you've got about five or so short blocks to walk before you arrive at the gallery.

You'll eventually pass by this French restaurant which is on your right.

You'll pass by this Yakitori shop on your left.

You'll pass by the Ueda apartment complex with these hot-pink gates, on your right.

You're almost there, look for the "Fummy's Grill" sign on your right. If you're on the right side of the street you'll see the sign. If you are walking on the left side of the street, you'll probably see the restaurant first, pictured below.

If you are not on the right side of the street, cross over to Fummy's Grill, and just on the right side of Fummy's Grill is an empty, quiet and boring looking road. Pictured below.

Walk down this boring road. You'll notice a hair salon on the right. Gallery Deux Poisson will be on your left. It's an extremely tiny space, so you might still miss it if you aren't careful.

It's basically right before the Ebisu Car Factory building. So do not go pass the Ebisu Car Factory building.

This is the front of Gallery Deux Poisson, again, it's a very very small space. It should have taken about just 15 minutes from the station to Gallery Deux Poisson, but of course longer if you are stopping to window shop or whatever. And again, you should only bother going here if you are interested in jewelry art. Anyone?


Here's the link to gallery deux poisson. Try NOT following my directions and finding this gallery on your own by using the flimsy map they provided on their website. I went twice, and managed to find it OK the first time, but the second time, I got pretty frick'n lost.
