Continuing from last year, due to the influence of Corona, events related to cherry blossoms have been canceled and admission to famous places has been restricted, and the opportunity to enjoy the seasonal feeling unique to spring with loved ones has been lost. In order to spend time with such an important person, we have prepared seats that allow you to enjoy the arrival of spring with all five senses, enjoy cherry blossom viewing, and enjoy Japanese and Western cuisine that inherits the spirit of tea kaiseki.
Please enjoy the Japanese-Western eclectic course using plenty of spring ingredients, along with the view of the nationally designated scenic garden “Kamien” where the cherry blossoms, which are famous as a famous spot for red weeping in Kyoto, bloom.

December sees the arrival of a number of Christmas breads. The Snowman with his cute smiling face is a sweet loaf with two different flavours: pudding cream and chocolate cream. It is a heartwarming treat with flavours that both children and adults can enjoy.
Also back this year is the popular Japanese Stollen, which was a big hit last year. This is a special cake that can only be tasted at Kimuraya, using Japanese-inspired ingredients such as persimmons, figs and koshi-an (sweet bean paste).

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
