Beautiful Prints by Artists Who Loved Their Hometowns on Display at Tatsuno Historical and Cultural Museum

The Tatsuno Museum of History and Culture, Kasumijokan, and Usukuchi Tatsuno Soy Sauce Museum (Tatsuno City) will hold the Tatsuno Castle Town Museum Triangle Gallery project “Scenes from Home: Inui Tai’s Memorial Exhibition”.

Tatsuno City’s representative artist and printmaker, Tai Inui, who loved Tatsuno and had been creating works in the area for many years. In January of last year, at the age of 94, he passed away, and as a memorial exhibition, the Tatsuno Museum of History and Culture, the Kasumijo Museum, and the Usukuchi Tatsuno Soy Sauce Museum planned the first-ever joint exhibition of the three museums.

On May 19, a commemorative lecture entitled “The Clear Mind of Kenta: What the Printmaker Kenta Engraved” will be held at Kasumijokan, featuring Yasumasa Oka, director of the Kobe Koiso Memorial Museum of Art and the Museum of Art in Relation to Kobe (50 first-come, first-served). (First 50 people to register by phone or fax to Kasumijokan).

Visitors who tour the three museums and fill out a questionnaire will be entered into a drawing to win a bowl of Higashimaru udon soup and a special clear file. The person in charge of the exhibition says, “This exhibition will focus on works depicting Tatsuno Castle Town and the surrounding area. We hope you will enjoy the scenery of the hometown painted with a focus on the hometown, its people and Harima’s festivals,” commented a representative of the exhibition.

<A word from the reporter>
Inui Tai is an artist with whom we are very familiar, as his works have been used on the packages of sweets of a local café, Satady Sun, and on the packages of Tatsuno Coffee. Why not take a new look at the scenery of Tatsuno City through Inui’s works?
