Kuroda Tatsuaki, who was active in Kyoto, is one of Japan's leading wood lacquer craftsmen, and in 1970 he was the first person in the field of woodworking to be designated a holder of an Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure). Questioning the division of labor that was common at the time, Kuroda created his works in a consistent manner, from designing and creating the base to decorating them, and opened up a unique creative world by integrating practicality, decorativeness, and the characteristics of the materials. This exhibition is being held to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Kuroda's birth, and will introduce the life of this artist who left a clear mark on the history of Japanese crafts through his representative works from his early period to his later years.

乐天的静

If the theme of the exhibition is attractive to you, this is a nice museum to watch. It has interesting timeless exhibitions of modern Japanese art, and good works of art in Kyoto. The museum floor is easy to manipulate. Brochures and labels are in English. The architecture and location are superb, with views of the mountains around the city. There are comfortable lounges on the ground floor and top floors to see the view. The museum coffee shop overlooks the picturesque Wuhu Canal. Unlike the National Museum, which has a sensational exhibition this month that attracts many visitors, the modern gallery feels very quiet

The first train in the morning is at 9:02. I took the Karasuma Line to Saga Station. After exiting the station, I walked directly into the train waiting area. There were many surrounding cultural and creative products, and snacks for sale. I sat in the No. 5 Fugui carriage, which is a carriage without windows. The scenery along the way was very good, the ecological environment was great, and I could see the boats drifting on the Hozu River.

One of the oldest temples in Kyoto, built in 778, was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1994. Sakura can be seen in spring, and red maple can be seen in autumn. The clear water stage in the temple is supported by 139 large pillars overlooking Kyoto. A must-visit to Kyoto. Tickets do not need money, the main hall inside needs 500 yen, after buying the ticket, you can take the ticket to take a photo and punch in. Suspension Temple is a good photo punching point, and the kiss of the New Lan Century in Conan is also here. There are also mountains behind, you can climb up and have fun if you have time.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

One of the oldest shrines in Kyoto, the main deity is Inari, who is in charge of harvest, business prosperity, and family safety. Behind the shrine, there are thousands of vermilion torii gates stretching to the top of the mountain, which is a representative landscape of Kyoto.
When I came at around 1pm, there were a lot of tourists. There were many shops at the door where you could change into kimonos. There were a lot of young men and women wearing kimonos. There were not many cherry blossoms in mid-April. Thousand Torii Gates⛩️In fact, it is easier to take pictures when you walk inside with fewer people.
If you just want to take a quick walk, there is still a mountain to climb behind, and you still have some time. You can overlook the panoramic view of Kyoto from the mountain.

Amazing Experience in Kyoto&rsquo;s Gion During AutumnVisiting Kyoto in autumn was truly a breathtaking experience, and Gion was the highlight of my trip. The combination of historic streets, traditional wooden machiya houses, and the vibrant autumn foliage created a magical atmosphere. Walking through Hanamikoji Street felt like stepping back in time, with the occasional sighting of elegantly dressed maiko adding to the charm.
