Hase-dera is called “Kamakura’s Western Paradise Jodo” because it has hydrangeas and flowers that never cease throughout the four seasons. In autumn, you can see the autumn leaves of maple and ginkgo. Here, we will deliver the state of coloring at the end of November.
Coloring is about 50%. In addition, we are currently lighting up for a limited time. From the viewpoint of preventing the spread of the new coronavirus infection, a long period has been set to avoid crowding and close contact. Why don’t you visit the ancient city of Kamakura to see the autumn leaves this year?

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024).

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.
