Traditional Tanabata decorations and wind chimes, which children of Rindai worked hard to paint with their small hands and decorate with stickers, will be displayed at the main house and the entrance of the Nagaya gate. Why not revive your childhood and hang your wishes on strips of paper? In addition, there will be wonderful works by Kyogo Yokota, expressing the old townscapes where hometown people live and the world of insects through oil paintings. I hope you can feel the vivid colors, detailed expressions, rich textures, and transparent gradations that oil paintings possess.
