VOU/Bo was born in 2015 after renovating the site of a former printing factory in Shijo Kawaramachi, Kyoto. It operates as a three-story complex with a gallery, shop, and event space. It fuses diverse cultures through borderless exhibitions, sales of original products created in collaboration with artists, and social events. More than just a store, the entire building is a creative exchange hub for Kyoto that continues to disseminate new cultures to the city in a multifaceted way.
