Rokuzan Art Museum

Without any plan to travel to this place, and drop by at Hotaka Station. From Hotaka Station open google maps and found this museum. Hit the right spot. It is small museum. But the autumn view very nice. From Hotaka Station about 7 minutes walk. For Infection prevention, you need to wear mask, disinfectant alcohol and write down your contact number. The entry 700 YEN. The art of sculpture by Moriye Ogihara (Rokuzan) or enjoy the view of building and its garden.

Small and not many explanations in english but interesting sculptures, pictures and paintings.

Visited in April 2018. Of the sculptures produced nationwide since the Meiji era, only 6 have been designated as Important Cultural Properties, but 2 of them are works by Rokuzan Ogiwara. I was just exhibiting the plaster prototype, and I was able to see the original of the precious work up close. Our generation remembers learning "Mamoru Hagiwara", and the "woman" in art textbooks and pictorial books belongs to him.

It's a small museum, but I'm glad that the building has a nice atmosphere. I wish I had a little more talk about the female model's relationship with Kuroko. It's not a public story, so I don't think it can be announced. Certified as a place to go when you come to Azumino. Next, I will go to the Art Hills Museum.

I was able to fully enjoy the climate that values ​​the art of Azumino. Throughout the life of Mamoru Ogiwara and Iwayama, I was struck by the power to live in the overwhelming art that I felt from my work. In addition, I cherished the time with Mr. Aizo Soma, Mr. Kuromitsu, Mr. Kotaro Takamura and other artists of Shinjuku Nakamuraya, and let me feel that "love is art and agony is beauty" that will lead to posterity. It was.
