The Daiwa Collection Exhibition vol. 9: The Pleasures of Art
MORI Chihiro Hectopascal(Eye of Typhoon) 2004
The Daiwa Collection entrusted to one of the most prominent collections in Japan to the our Art Museum. They were collected by SATO Tatsumi, one of the leading collectors of contemporary art in Japan, and entrusted to this Museum in FY 2010. The Daiwa Collection covers a wide range of artwords in different disciplines, including two- and three-dimensional art, photography, ceramics, and installations, created by world-renowned artists and young creators from inside and outside Japan.
Contemporary art is often considered difficult, but if you listen to the questions posed by its artists, you may discover new discoveries and new ways of thinking. This year's exhibition, titled "The Pleasures of Art," will focus on sclptures, paintings, and photographs from the "Daiwa Collection," a valuable collection of contemporary art work.

The History of Okinawa's Fine Arts
KINJO Meiichi At Itoman 1982
Okinawa's distinctive culture has developed in a climate and history different from that of mainland Japan. How have the changing times impacted Okinawan artists and their work?
"The History of Okinawa's Fine Arts" has been divided into the following sections in an effort to provide visitors a sense of these changes over time: pre-war, post-war, reversion to mainland Japan, post-reversion to Japan, Okinawan immigrants, and contemporary art.
Held over a year, the exhibition will showcase artworks created by artists from or with links to Okinawa who work or worked inside or outside Okinawa or outside the country to explore how they saw and described their times.
