There is in North-American Indian culture a much greater appreciation of silence than in English-speaking societies and in French-speaking societies as well. French philosopher Michel Foucault has also described that, “I think silence is one of those things that has unfortunately been dropped from our culture”.  Young Romans or young Greeks were taught to keep silent in very different ways according to the people with whom they were interacting. In the growing process of a person, choosing ways to develop silence in accordance with various situations is a cultural ethos to examine one’s attitude and quality of life.

The first decade that Shun Art Gallery has walked by was a humble beginning of a student’s entrepreneurial dream, which could hardly be summarized in short… Today Shun Art Gallery has moved to the French Concession area, well-known for its rich cultural atmosphere, and our Old Villa Project was also launched recently. We hope that this could be the place to witness the process and field of history, and moreover, we sincerely hope that Hitori-Tabi could meet you and everyone that understands us right here.
