A journey through KANSAI 2025 through paper cutting art

images

We are exhibiting the original artwork from "KANSAI 2025: A Journey Through Paper Cutting," which was serialized in the Sankei Shimbun last year.
Many of the works on display are being shown for the first time, so I hope many people will come and see them.
A large 2-meter-tall artwork, "Heavenly Flower (Red Spider Lily)," is also on display. (On display until November 3rd (Tue))
We look forward to your visit.

Exhibition period: Scheduled from July 29, 2026 (Wed) to November 3, 2026 (Tue)

The art exhibits on the second floor are changed about four times a year.

In addition to the permanent exhibition of the 72 Seasons, there are about 30 other pieces on display. The pieces have texture, three-dimensionality, and perspective, and express light and shadow through the thickness of the lines. The works, cut out with an art knife, are all connected, which is a major feature. You can see Kubo Osamu's unique, painterly papercuts up close.

I will be exhibiting for the first time at the museum the "Aomori Nebuta" artwork that I created last year for an exhibition in Aomori.
We have a photo spot available for you to take a commemorative photo of your visit, and we hope you enjoy it.
