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.

The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto

Specialty exhibition halls

乐天的静

This is a nice museum to visit if the theme of the exhibitions appeals to you. It has interesting and timeless exhibitions of modern Japanese art, as well as nice works of art from Kyoto. The floors of the museum are easy to navigate. The brochures and labels are in English. The architecture and location are superb, with views of the city and the mountains surrounding it. There are cozy lounges on the ground floor and top floor to enjoy the view. The museum&#39;s cafe overlooks the picturesque Lake Biwa canal. Unlike the National Museum which has a blockbuster exhibition this month that attracts many visitors, the Museum of Modern Art felt quite quiet.

The clear water stage in the temple is supported by 139 large pillars overlooking Kyoto. A must-visit to Kyoto.

One of Kyoto&#39;s oldest shrines, the main god of harvest, business boom, family security, the shrine behind thousands of scarlet bird dwellings stretching to the top of the mountain, is a representative landscape of Kyoto. When I came, at about 1 noon, there were a lot of tourists. There were many shops at the door that could change clothes in kimonos. There were a lot of kimonos for younger brothers and sisters. There were not many cherry blossoms in mid-April. Thousand Birds ⛩️ In fact, it is better to take pictures with fewer people walking inside. If you just simply stroll down quickly, there is a mountain to climb up behind, and the mountain overlooks the panoramic view of Kyoto.

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.
