Ritsurin Garden is a Japanese garden that was introduced as the highest rated three-star in the 2009 Michelin Green Guide Japan. Originally a daimyo garden completed by the Matsudaira clan, the lord of the Takamatsu domain, during the Edo period.
In the Meiji era, it was opened to the public as a prefectural park and has been designated as one of the national special places of scenic beauty. The taste of the four seasons and the facial expressions that change with time. It is awarded as “one step at a time” in the sense that there is one scenery per step.
In the daytime when the sun is shining, the trees shine lively and it is a perfect time to take a walk. And while taking a walk, take a break in the tea room.
The Takamatsu domain has invited Sen no Rikyu’s great-grandson, Sen Soushu (the founder of the Mushakojisen family), to play a leading role in the tea ceremony, and has a long-established tea culture.
At Kikugetsutei in the park, a big tea party was held at that time. This Kikugetsutei still remains, and you can easily enjoy tea without reservation.
A Japanese boat that goes around the South Lake is a place where you can enjoy the scenery from a different perspective than walking. While listening to the boatman’s commentary, you can go through the bridge and enjoy a full 30-minute boating experience while gazing at the island floating in the pond.

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.
