This exhibition introduces the world of prints by world-renowned avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama (1929-).
Yayoi Kusama made her international debut at the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993 as a representative Japanese artist, but her active involvement in printmaking from an earlier stage of her career was a major driving force behind her current acclaim.
In 1979, Yayoi Kusama exhibited her first prints. In contrast to her other works based on themes such as death and suffering after returning from the U.S., her prints are rich in color with vivid motifs. In addition to abstract expressions of her earlier works, motifs such as pumpkins, dresses, grapes, flowers, and butterflies covered in distinct colors and composed of mesh and polka dots are distinctive in her printworks. It is no exaggeration to say that Kusama, whose creative activities are rooted in the proliferation of dots and nets, inevitably encountered printmaking, an art of reproduction.

Although there are many people, the order of getting on the bus is still good. In summer, the small train is very hot without air conditioning. The scenery is like this. If you want to browse the attractions, get off at Busan Station and go all the way. You can go directly to the end to do JR.

I hesitated for a long time in front of Kiyomizu Temple to buy tickets, because there is not much cash left. But! It&#39;s super worth it. The tickets look good like postcards. You can feel a sense of tranquility and exquisiteness. There are different beauty in different seasons. The moment you take off your shoes and step on the hall, you really have a completely different experience from the country. And the royal guard here is the style I really want to buy, but the cash in hand is almost gone here and only cash is needed. In short, it is worth it

Fushimi Inari Taisha

Igor Sinyavskiy Shchepkin

The Fushimi Inari Taisha path is an excellent small outdoor adventure for people who want a break from city walking and the bustle of cars and cyclists. The hike up Mount Inari is simple and family-friendly; however, be aware that during certain times of the year it might be crowded and the humid summer weather may complicate the hike significantly. I also recommend visiting during early morning hours, whilst there are few people on the trail, especially on the upper part. Aside from the obvious shrines and hiking trail, there are many shops at the base of the site, which sell all types of fun memorabilia.

Arashiyama

Mountain climbing

Shin罗小黑黑

During my trip to Japan, Arashiyama left a deep impression on me. It is like an exquisite ink painting, quiet and beautiful.

In the morning, we strolled on the Togetsukyo Bridge. Under the bridge was the clear Hozu River, and the river water gurgled, as if telling an ancient story. On both sides of the bridge, cherry trees swayed in the wind, and pink petals gently fell, sprinkled on the river, drifting with the waves, beautiful like a dream.

Walking along the path by the river, there are quaint buildings on both sides, as if traveling to ancient Japan. Occasionally, you can see pedestrians in kimonos, who walked gracefully, adding a bit of classical charm.

Walking into Arashiyama Park, the greenery is refreshing. There are many bamboo forests here, the bamboos are towering into the sky, the breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, as if playing a natural music. Walking in it, it seems to be in a quiet world, and all the troubles are thrown behind.

The beauty of Arashiyama lies not only in its natural scenery, but also in the tranquility and harmony it contains. Here, I seem to have found inner peace and also felt the unique charm of traditional Japanese culture.

Best Things to Do

学校🏫

Gion: Geisha phantom and capital meat grinder, Kyoto&#39;s most dangerous Ukiyo-e Is it worth going? If you want to dissect the dark fairy tale of Japanese aesthetics, it&#39;s worth it! But under the stone slabs of each flower-viewing path are tourists&#39; IQ taxes - this is the Disneyland of geisha culture, and you are a human ATM. 
Hard-core truth: blood and gold on the shamisen strings 
Chemical war on the back of the neck of the maiko: under the white powder is not the legendary &quot;swan neck&quot;, but the scar of collodion burns - traditional geishas need to use glue to straighten the neck lines. The young girl kneels in front of the mirror at 3 a.m. and uses a bone brush knife to smooth the skin texture, just for a 0.5-second glimpse in your lens at dusk. 
The indulgence system of Ichiriki Tea House: The private banquet behind the door curtain costs ￥300,000 per night, and what they drink is not wine but class sacrifice. But when you open the tatami secret compartment, the contract signed by the prostitutes in the Meiji period sleeps with this morning&#39;s credit card bill - a century of exploitation has never evolved, only the payment method has changed. 
The physical scam of Yasaka Tower: Internet celebrity photographers will not say: The best camera position is on top of the power distribution box in the back alley of Tatsumi Daimyojin. What&#39;s even darker is that the tower lighting is sponsored by Sharp, and the LED color temperature is adjusted according to the new mobile phone products of the season - faith has long been adjusted by capital. 
The cyber torture device of Shirakawa Tsutsumi: pressure sensors are installed on the stone steps, and hidden spray devices (officially called &quot;moisturizing system&quot;) are triggered when the crowd is overloaded. The &quot;poetic scene&quot; of your kimono being wetted by water mist is actually a sewer strategy of big data to disperse the flow of people. 

Anti-harvest survival guide (more important than booking Kaiseki) 
Morning attack on ghost theater: 
5:00 squatting at the back door of Gion Kobu dance practice hall**, watching the geisha with bruises on her eyes after removing her makeup ride a shared bicycle home 
6:30 rush into the **Kenninji** abbot garden, the sand sound of monks sweeping fallen leaves is the real &quot;Kyoto sound&quot; 
Unlocking the midnight secret path: 
- 22:00 climb into the **Shimbashi Shirakawa** restricted area in the dark (Google Map 33.995&deg;N, 135.768&deg;E), the century-old chimney is reflected in the water like a giant harp 
- Every Friday on garbage day, throw away the sake lees in the back alley of Inoue Brewery, and dig out the yeast that brewed the geisha&#39;s lip balm with bare hands 
Fatal peak staggering technique: 
-Standing at Yasaka Shrine with a transparent umbrella on a rainy night, watching the red lanterns turn into blood mist in the rain curtain 
- On the 10th of every month, on Geisha Emblem Day, follow the kimono delivery truck to the Nishijin weaving workshop and pick up the gold thread scraps from the tailor&#39;s knife 

Magical realism attack 
When you scoop up matcha shaved ice in the tea house, the &quot;geisha&quot; outside the window suddenly takes off her wig - that&#39;s a part-time cross-dressing job for a Ukrainian student earning ￥1,500 per hour. Even more absurd is the Hanamikoji vending machine: put in ￥5,000 to get a &quot;Geisha Breathing Air Can&quot;, scan the code to display the ingredients list

The museum has staff who can guide you in English, and the annotations of the works are also available in English. The area around the Kyocera Museum of Art is particularly beautiful, and it is the cherry blossom season, so beautiful! Be sure to spend more time walking around!
