Do you know? The Secret of Cherry Blossoms

Period: 
Jul. 10 (Wed.) - Aug. 26 (Mon.), Sep. 11 (Wed.) - Nov. 18 (Mon.), 2024
Sasabe Shintaro (1887-1978) found the charm of cherry blossoms in parts other than their flowers, such as treetops and sprouts. In this exhibition, we follow in Mr. Sasabe's footsteps and focus on the parts of cherry trees other than their flowers, drawing on books, tools, autographs, and photographs to explore the "secrets" of cherry trees that may seem familiar but are surprisingly unknown to us. Easy-to-understand explanations will also be posted. Please come with your family!
