Exhibition details are as follows:

Venue: 

Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art

The Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art, located in Okazaki Park, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan, was established in 1938. It is the second public art museum in Japan, following the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, and ranks among Kyoto's four major museums alongside three other national and public institutions.

The museum features a diverse collection that includes Japanese paintings, Western paintings, and crafts from the Meiji era to around 1990. Its permanent exhibitions rotate several times a year, complemented by various special exhibitions and university graduation shows. Large-scale exhibitions organized by media outlets attract significant visitor interest.

In 2020, following renovations, the museum adopted the naming rights from Kyocera. Before reopening on March 31, 2020, it was officially renamed Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. The current director, architect Jun Aoki, is also the designer of the renovation project.

The updated exhibition space accommodates a greater number of artworks, enabling more participants to showcase their creations in Kyoto, with a focus on reaching an international audience.
