The 6th Onsen Art Exhibit will be held in Futsukaichi Hot Springs district of Chikushino on Apr. 28 and 29. This year’s exhibit features an event planned by a former participant in which guests can don kimonos and tour the exhibit venues. The exhibit began as the Onsen Flower Show in 2008 when a local florist started placing floral decorations in cafes and hotels in the hot springs district. Its name was changed to Onsen Art Exhibit in 2010 when a local artists’ group took over organization duties. This year’s event will feature photography and stained glass exhibits at eight venues. Admission is free of charge. The kimono walking tour is limited to female guests only. Those interested can borrow kimonos at no charge or receive free kitsuke (dressing assistance) for their own kimonos. For details contact Yamamoto-san at chabixchabi@yahoo.co.jp. Direct inquiries for the art exhibits to Inoue-san at 092-924-1885.
