Villa Kujoyama, Creative residency in Yamashina-ku, Japan
Villa Kujoyama stands on Mount Higashi, featuring six duplex studio apartments of 64 square meters each with dedicated spaces for artistic research and practice.
The residency opened in 1992 on land donated by the Kansai Francophile community, designed by architect Kunio Kato following the model of Villa Medici in Rome.
The institution has welcomed over 400 artists from various disciplines including architecture, literature, visual arts, design, dance, composition, and film since its establishment.
Selected artists receive monthly allowances of 2,100 euros for solo participants or 1,600 euros per person for duo projects during their 4 to 6 month stay.
The first Thursday of each month, Villa Kujoyama opens its doors to the public, enabling residents to present their research projects to the local community.
