Nara
Sep 22 - Feb 21
Yoshino-chou Kuzu and 3 other areas, Nara
Admire modern art on display in traditional Japanese houses at this unique art festival. Nara is full of old Japanese machiya (wooden houses) and these beautiful, often unoccupied buildings are repurposed as venues for installations and artworks during this event. Many of the houses have also been adapted for use as cafés and guesthouses. Meander through these historic streets and appreciate the spectacular modern artworks contrasted with the old streetscapes. The event will take place at the following four locations: Yoshino-chou Kuzu (Core area), Kashihara (Plus area), Soni-mura and Yoshino-chou Kamiichi (Around area).
