A suburban mansion built in 1937 (Showa 12).
There is a sukiya-style mansion on a site of 500 tsubo, a Japanese garden using the slope of Futagaoka, and a tea room with a view of Mt. Atago in the distance, so you can feel the elegant appearance of a suburban mansion in the early Showa period.
The designer and purpose of the building are unknown, but it is registered as a nationally registered tangible cultural property because it is well preserved and has high cultural value.

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.
