Featuring Japanese-inspired works by artists from all over the world, RESOBOX is a Japanese cultural center dedicated to sharing and celebrating Japanese influence in the arts. Our workshops, cafe, gallery and event space allow us to celebrate Japanese culture in many ways.

RESOBOX is the name created from a mashup of the words Resonate and Box. This Resonating Box envisions a space where artists can meet and collaborate to create new and innovative arts. The space within this Box Resonates, too, shaking up everything inside.

The concept of RESOBOX was originally created in August 2009 as a personal art project by Fumio Tashiro – New York composer, bassist and videographer.

We offer classes in Japanese-inspired dance, ink painting, cosplay and prop-making, martial arts and more. With drawing and dance classes just for kids and classes in Karate, Iaido and Jodo, we have something for everyone.

Visitors can enjoy art inspired by Japanese culture in our gallery. Featuring artists from near and far, we display new artwork monthly. We are open to artists of any age, race or nationality, provided that they somehow incorporate Japanese ideas, culture or philosophy into their work through the creation of something that didn’t exist before.

RESOBOX is a place where people who are conversant with, dedicated to, and influenced by Japanese arts can gather to create innovative arts through the collaborative process and disseminate them to the world. Join us!

Accessibility: The Long Island City location is fully wheelchair accessible.

It was fantastic! The teacher covered so much information in a non rushed manner. I can’t wait to take another class.

This class was really educational! Julian gave a really good rundown of how to take care of bonsai, I was amazed at how much information he was able to share in such a short time span. The bonsai that I took home with me was also beautiful and I'm excited to take care of it for the next few decades. The day that I went to the class it was almost full so unfortunately there was not that much 1:1 time with the instructor, but he still did come around and help each student at least twice. I had a fun time and was surprised by how quickly the two hours flew by. Definitely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning how to properly take care of bonsai!
