This evening our two topics are the Nagoya City Museum's Ukiyo-e art exhibition, and the Shonai Ryokuchi Green Plaza's Rose Festival. Ukiyo-e, with its landscapes and its scenes depicting everyday life, even influenced 19 th Century European art. Kuniyoshi is best-known for his pictures of samurai warriors and his humorous designs of plants and animals and humans. His pictures portraying healthy womanly beauty have been gaining acclaim in recent years. All of the works being shown in this exhibition are being exhibitied to the general public for the first time ever.
Entrance is free.
The museum is closed every Monday, and also the fourth Tuesday of the month. To get to the Nagoya City Museum, take the Sakuradoori subway line and get off at Sakurayama. For the three days from Friday May 18 th to Sunday May 20 th , the Rose Festival will be going on at the Green Plaza. There will be artistic works made from roses on exhibit, videos related to roses showing, all sorts of things to buy that have to do with roses, quiz rallies for anyone who would like to participate, and more. Again, entry is free.
