The Sasabe Sakura Collection (entrusted to the museum by Nishinomiya City) is one of Japan’s foremost collections of materials regarding cherry blossom trees collected by Sasabe Shintaro, who devoted his life to protecting and nurturing indigenous Japanese cherry blossom trees.
This exhibition features paintings, ceramics, metal, wood and lacquer works, prints and kimono, together with records of the purchases made by Sasabe. Please enjoy the variety of cherry blossoms represented in works from a wide range of fields.
I’m deeply interested in the works of art depicting the four seasons and the items that make me feel the history.
Look! Various exhibitions are held as well as those related to sake and sakura!!
